I'm not saying we can't be more compassionate, but let's be fair here: there is a vocal, public element of the gay community that is hostile and in-your-face. It's not surprising that some people may have a pejorative reaction to someone who identifies themselves in whatever degree with that movement.
BDB said the only way the church could change would be by changing its doctrine. I disagree. Doctrine is that drinking coffee and homosexual behavior is both a sin. Yet one group feels completely more ostracized.
