You can cite your anecdotes, and I can cite mine. People can be judgmental, no question, and not just about homosexuality. But I've found quite a bit of tolerance among most of the saints too.

And I'll add this little zinger as well: sometimes people who come out as gay get hypersensitive to how they are being treated. Sometimes they see offense where either none existed, or none was intended. Heck, I've known people so paranoid about their divorce, or their job loss, or whatever, that they think the WHOLE ward is talking about, when in truth very few even know about it. Don't tell me that doesn't happen with people hypersensitive about their own sexual orientation.

You are confusing the Lambda report with the Lambada report.
