I agree with you and Rob. If I have to say that to a person, then it's probably someone I don't need to have in my life anyway. It would make no sense to surround myself with nasty people and expect to be happy. Like my mother said. "Go where you are celebrated, not tolerated."
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
