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.

Firstly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman

Secondly, isn't is spooky how the rules you decide were "meant for the nation of Israel" are the ones you disagree with, and the ones you decide were "for all mankind" are the ones you do?

Thirdly, "I see the paractice of homosexuality unnatural" is not any kind of argument. If "unnatural" things were actually an issue for you, you certainly wouldn't be on the fucking internet.

You can take the No True Scotsman and bury it in ......

I did not say I disagreed with any of the laws, some were perfect for their time and the Israelites, others have ageless application. Like I said you should study Leviticus and the New testament to find out which laws were meant for the ages and those that pertain to the Israelites. So you see, I did not decide which ones apply to the Israelites and the ones that are ageless, the scriptures do, actually I bet you want.

Really what is unnatural about communicating, learning, shopping and ect.

Yet you would seek to deny them equal treatment under the law of this country.

What shall we call that?

You can call it whatever pleases your own little self, I do not care what you believe about me, and for what I seek is nothing more than to vote my conviction, if that vote ever arises in this state.

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.
