I admit, I became tolerant of homosexuality when I left religion as well.
But now looking back, I became tolerant of disbelief in God, as well as the true nature of goodness, and the connection and I myself was ignorant and turning away from true nature of goodness.
It's not easy condemning a human being, believe me, it hurts, no one likes it, it's not fun, it's not something we enjoy.

It's a serious thing.
No, it really only hurts those who are being condemned by those who think they have the religious superiority to condemn.
What if the religious person has a child who thinks he is gay by nature? It hurts them if that child succumbs to what they perceive as propaganda from misguided individuals from their perspective as well.
And aside from that, no one enjoys condemning a human being of an evil.
