Is it?
I'm not sure what you mean by a middle ground. The majority of us don't think gays are vile, if that's what you mean. Can you clarify?

So your special book can't be interpreted to say that gays are an abomination?
There are obviously people out there who read the entire bible and come out of it believing that gay people are vile. So, yes. It can and does get interpreted that way by some people.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
