They are not motivated by hate, quite the contrary. Christians advocate love and redemption, not open season on homosexuals and lesbians. There is no question that humanity has a hateful, dangerous undercurrent, especially prevalent in the mindset of young males. This undercurrent runs throughout human history and has found its outlet in self-aggrandizement by exhibiting power over the poor, the weak or the different. But to link this evil with the beliefs and attitudes of Christians is preposterous.
All traditional religions view homosexuality as a sin.
Thus, many North Americans who make a commitment to a religious way of life do not accept the assertion that two men or two women constitute the foundation of a family equal to the covenantal relationship of marriage between a man and a woman, ordained by God. That doesn't mean that we are joined in a conspiracy to cleanse the country of homosexuals and lesbians.
