For what it’s worth, I find homophobia and misogyny abhorrent, but that doesn’t mean that, within the bounds of traditional Christianity, they are immoral. I can disagree with them while recognizing that they are moral claims.

I do not see my morality as absolute. As a perpetual seeker of the best rules and laws to live by, I am always open to new and better ways.
Most moral tenets are subjective, not objective.
The religious homophobia and misogyny is demonstrably going against the Golden Rule that religions say they go by. That makes their ways immoral.
Christians and you here, disagree but cannot do apologetics to justify their position.

If you don’t see your own moral tenets as absolute then you have no basis for calling anyone else’s tenets immoral.
I’m not a huge fan of the Golden Rule.
I’m not attempting to ‘justify’ anything at all, especially not the Christian views on women and homosexuals. What I’m trying to do is get you to understand that by making moral claims - even claims you and I disagree with vehemently - Christianity IS moral. Making moral claims is the only qualification required to be moral. It doesn’t even matter if those moral claims are justified or justifiable, just that they are made.
