Will you tell him or her they should abstain from sex? Will you tell them the Church won't recognize it if he or she gets married? Will you support him or her if they want to have children, via adoption or otherwise?
I would be honest with them about my beliefs. Though I'm sure they will already know them before they come out to me anyway, so once they did come out, I don't see why I would need to reiterate. I would just make sure they knew nothing changes between us.
You can be as "honest" in your denial as you want, but gays don't need to change, YOU DO.
Your logic is broken, and not only broken, based on an antiquated book, regardless of what kind of "good intent" you think you have. That book explains nothing about human evolution in any scientific sense. You need to change, they don't. Stop making excuses for your own denial.
Humans are very capable of empathy and compassion, but religion takes what is in our evolution and distorts it and twists it to an absurd comic book form. The "compassion" religion claims, isn't for humanity, but for the club, and as you keep demonstrating with your ignorance here, you hide behind "I am not a bad person" "I'm only trying to help", which WE ARE NOT ARGUING.
We keep telling you your BAD logic has an affect on others, regardless of your good intent. And you base your "I'm a good person" on an old book, and do so AFTER admitting you have no evidence for your position.
You have no problem rejecting the sexism of the Quran, and you have no problem agreeing with us that that sexism has no justification, much less a scientific one. You want to believe your sect of Christianity is better, but it is not. What makes you more civil, isn't your belief. What makes you more civil is that western common law has allowed your REAL evolutionary empathy to override your tribal book.
YOUR ability to have empathy for others is in YOU, not that book. If you truly want to help gays, then stop making excuses for your own denial. Stop treating them as if they are physically broken, and consider your bad logic is not justified.
