Steve, you have hit on a sore point with me as well.  I personally 
believe that homosexual behavior is wrong, for the Biblical reasons 
others have listed.  However, I also believe that fornication and 
adultery are sins.

So, since I know, have friends, and am related to people who are 
committing or have committed every one of these behaviors, should I 
treat homosexuals any differently than adulterers?  Should I want to 
deny any of these groups any legal rights, or want to mistreat or 
harm them in any way?  

No.  IMO, any sin they are committing is between them and God, and 
they will one day have to answer for it, as I will have to answer for 
my own.  My job is to "do unto others as I would have them do unto 
me", and that means try to get along with everybody based on their 
personality characteristics, not on their sexual 
preference/race/religion/etc.  

My own personal paternal unit thinks that the Harry Potter books are 
Satanic and evil and I am a horrible mother for letting my oldest 
watch the first movie--I am letting sorcery and witchcraft have an 
influence over her.  Never mind that he slept around with everyone he 
could find and packed up and left his wife and kids so many times 
that we finally begged my mom to divorce him just so we'd know he 
really wasn't coming back.  

But I'm the bad parent.  Grrrr.  

OK, breathe deeply...I'm a Christian, I can forgive...somebody pass 
the chocolate, please.  :)

I couldn't possibly relate, but maybe that's a bit of what 
homosexuals feel when adulterers accuse them of sinful behavior?
