I agree that it is sinful.  I tell people that homosexuality is sinful.  My gay
freind knows that I believe homosexuality is sin.  He's never accused me of
being a homophobe, and hope he doesn't believe I am.  If a person makes it
clear that they believe homosexuality is sinful, but ALSO makes it clear that
they don't condemn the person for it, but rather condemn the sin, and present
these beliefs in a calm manner, the homosexual may not go off the handle.
