It appears to me that IL's not opposed to accepting their homosexuality. It's the homosexual relations that he's opposed to accepting. Hell, there are a lot of homosexuals out there who - if I'm understanding IL correctly - agree with him.
I don't buy the idea that considering homosexual relations sinful is automatic bigotry.
edit: It does appear to be a case of bigotry with IL - unless he can start explaining himself better
(IL, look to pigglet's request above) - but I'm not about to accept it as an absolute.
Sexual orientation's only one aspect of identity, anyway. What's stopping IL from tolerating (or not tolerating) one aspect and accepting others?
