But the moment you promote a stance that there is actually something wrong with it, further to your own personal discomfort, you are a bigot. You're encouraging people to find real fault with such actions.
You say I'm a bigot because I think there is something with homosexual sex? That's Crazy. That means I'm a huge bigot because I also believe that having sex outside of marriage is wrong. I also think that drunkenness is wrong. And I believe Democrats are wrong most of the time. That makes me a super bigot. By the way, you're a bigot too because you think that theism is wrong. Your'e promoting a stance that makes people think that there is something wrong with it. That's the usual response to anyone who believe that homosexual acts are wrong. Just label them a bigot.
As far as homosexuality being a natural inclination, christians must daily go against their natural inclinations as do most non-christian people.
No, I said I don't know what your stance is. I said if you voice the opinion that there's something bad/wrong/immoral about something, based only on your own issues and no actual rational justification, you're a bigot. In my opinion. Disregard my opinion as you see fit. If you're against it because you're a Christian, you're a bigot. You're shielding your bigotry instead of owning it.
Sex outside of marriage can have demonstrable harmful effects, due to being outside of marriage specifically. As can drunkeness. You've done exactly what I warned of, comparing it to something not in the same category. It is rather depressing to me when I can just tell you what your next move is, what's wrong with it, and you do it anyway. Man/man sex has no such innate demonstrable immoral consequences that don't require false equivalence.
I think theism is likely factually incorrect. I don't think it's morally wrong. Another false equivocation.
Either you don't understand that these are false analogies, or you're being dishonest to deflect. If it's the former, I'm happy to explain further. But if you double down on more false equivalence I'll just end the conversation.
