God is doing a mighty work, not with thunder and lightning, not even with huge electoral victories at General Convention, but the way God always works, one heart at a time. The rhetoric of judgment and condemnation is the rhetoric we've been enduring for generation after generation. If instead we respond to hate and rejection with love and forgiveness, people are startled, for almost no one does that. Some even begin to guess that we have been with Jesus. But if we jump to condemn, we'd be more at home with the Phelps family at General Convention.
Most people change in stages.
Even St. Paul had the decency not to go near those whom he had persecuted for two whole years after he encountered Jesus on the way to Damascus. Our job is to plant seeds, not to reap the harvest. It is important to love our enemies now, unconditionally, even as God loves us. If you stay at this and are lucky to live as long as God has blessed me, you'll find that today's enemies are tomorrow's friends. It makes the transition much easier if you have been treating them that way in advance.
