Methinks the Church should spend more time showing God's love to people than fighting social problems. God's love is stronger than any counter-protest.

Helping people escape from the grip of the homosexual deathstyle is a fantastic way to show God's love. Homosexual acts are depraved and an abomination in God's sight. If we can help people understand that they are not slaves to their deviant sexual desires, we are doing God's work.

What part of "tough love" don't you understand? This isn't a counterprotest, it is routine maintenance by the vast majority against a disruptive tiny minority of anarchists.

Your point of view reminds me of the parents in the grocery store or restaurant who watch their children having screaming tantrums and stand by smiling at those whose ears are offended by the piercing noise, as if to say, "Isn't he cute?"

Jesus himself turned over the tables of the moneylenders, and spoke of God's wrath to come for the complacent sinner.

[little jeremiah]

Homosexuality is more than a social problem, it is a spiritual problem. If people who believe in God had stood up like this earlier and oftener, we wouldn't be in the fix we're in today.

Genesis 13:13
  Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.
 

Genesis 18:20-21
 20.  Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
 21.  that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
 4.  Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house. 
 5.  They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
 6.  Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
 7.  and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Psa. 12:8 8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Isaiah 3:9
   The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

 More?

Ezekiel 16:49-50
 49.  "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
 50.  They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

 9.  Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
 10.  nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 
 11.  And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
