You aren't against homosexuality because of scripture, you're against homosexuality because you're a bigot. To prove this, open your Bible, read the whole of Leviticus and have a think about how you feel about each and every one of the rules outlined there. All of them. They are equally valid, equally the word of god. If you feel exactly the same about all of it, then yeah, I'm wrong, you are just following scripture in your beliefs. However, if you are totally fine with, say, Lev 19:19 for example, then you need to rethink where your views are really coming from.
I, however, have come to the conclusion that homosexuality is the result of being bitten by a gay spider. How the spiders become gay is something I need to think about some more.
You need to support your numbers, I have doubts they are correct. Just because there are practicing gays who claim to be Christians doesn't mean they are Christians, I know people who claim to be Christians and I believe they are as lost as last years Easter egg.
I've read Leviticus a number of times, some of the laws were meant only for the nation of Israel and some for all mankind, so one needs to study this book carefully to know the laws. That particular verse was meant for the nation of Israel and you have no idea what it is implying and I know this because you can only see what is written in the passage and not how it was applied to their lives, it was very relevant to them and there journey with God. In spirit that law has been carried into Christianity by Jesus.
Let's get this clear, I see the practice of homosexuality unnatural, even before I became a Christian, I'm not bigoted that would include hate and I do not hate homosexuals period.

If I personally ran the world, yes, because I do not care for the intolerant bigotry theistitards attempt to enforce under the guise of morality.
However, you are entitled to your vote, just as white supremacists were entitled to their vote to keep blacks as slaves and maintain segregation. Fortunately, those who hold to outdated views tend to eventually find themselves in the minority when it comes to voting, which has become more apparent due to gay marriage being legalized throughout the world. Your vote is not going to count one of these days, and what a glorious day that will be.
Thanks for your thoughts.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
