Why is it that christians think gay people need their approval for their "lifestyle" choice? When did they choose to be straight?

I always see christians say that they don't "approve" of the gay lifestyle. Well who are Christians to arrogantly think that the world is asking their approval to get married to the same gender or have a sex change.

They are not saying gay people need their approval, they are saying everyone on earth needs Gods forgiveness and I believe God’s forgiveness is earned or loaned, meaning it can be withdrawn if it isn’t appreciated or repaid or shared.

I get that but they think that if they are not trying to stop gay people from marrying then God will accuse them of approving of gay people and then fire and brimstone will rain on holy America like Soddom and Gamorrah.

Let me ask you, do you judge a market by the shop keepers behaviour or do you judge the market by the moral understanding of their two year old kids? Some people are immature and selfish and don’t act the way the bible wants them too. You judge an organization by the boss, not by the bosses dogs.

So let me get this "straight " and yes pun is intended, you lot can judge gay people all the livelong day but anyone else does it like me then it's wrong, yeah it seems to me you are justifying homophobia under thr guise of righteous morality.

I’m neither afraid of homosexuals nor disgusted or angered by them so I’m not phobic in any way of people who participate in that lifestyle. I just believe that people who promote non homosexual relationships have a valid cause too, if they do it in a polite and compassionate way.

[Asker]

That's my point, it is hardly ever done in a polite manner and even if it's politely done its morally wrong even nazis are nice to Jews.

I don’t agree but I respect your opinion and your desire to voice it.

[Asker]

I don't agree with yours and neither respect the opinions of a polite homophobe.
