It's certainly not "normal" for any Christian to decide any sin is "OK" to commit, or even worse, not really a sin.

When we see same sex couples in public or in the media doing their thing, it's like advertising the sin. It's wrong of you or anyone else to demand we accept it as normal. As I said before, I'm all on board for leaving it to God, and not allowing it to cloud my judgement any more than I would of others committing an obvious sin. Heck, if I was hiring someone right now, I'd probably hire a gay man over a known adulterer simply because the adulterer has already shown me he can't be trusted.

But ultimately, what is really being debated here isn't whether or not it's OK for him to kiss another man. Rather it's about whether it is right and reasonable to expect Christians to accept it as perfectly normal, or whether or not we have the right to be annoyed when any party attempts to "force it" into the mainstream.
Divorce is a sin, correct? Why aren't Christian conservatives fighting to make divorce illegal? Why aren't Christian conservatives fighting to nullify 2nd and 3rd marriages and strip those spouses of their rights? That's the hypocrisy right there. The sins of one's personal life that are being fought against by Christian conservatives are cherry picked and then the bible is used as a shield against claims of bigotry. Now this is hugely different from crimes like murder and burglary and rape, because those are sins that have a material and immediate affect on other members of society.

And I know some denominations are more modern in their social views, and that's great, but for Internet MB posting, I'm not going to list out the denominations. We all know what's being referred to here.
