Do you believe someone who says “I love homosexuals” but opposes marriage equality?

“No. It’s a cop-out. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You can’t have it both ways. The person should admit they have hatred in their hearts. If you really love gays, you want them to have the same rights that you have.”

“It’s difficult to understand how someone could make that statement. If you love someone, you want them to have all the opportunities in the world. I do believe that marriage is a fundamental right. Maybe the person is just coming from a place of ignorance, not hatred.”

“No. The two parts of that statement are contradictory. It’s an oxymoron. My whole life, I’ve heard people say, ‘I love the sinner but hate the sin.’ I don’t buy it. It doesn’t hold any water.”

“No. That sounds like double-talk. The person sounds phony. I wouldn’t believe something like that. If you love gays, then you should be for whatever they decide to do — as long as they don’t hurt anyone.”
