I should probably tell you that I am a liberal and a socialist.  I do
not support judging others especially minorities. If being gay is a sin,
then that's gods job to punish not mine.

There are greater threats regardless of if gay is a sin or not, I do not
personally like the idea, but its not my place to judge.  So yeah...
