"Criticize Islam, not Muslims" is akin to the canard of "hate the sin, not the sinner," that has long given license to anti-LGBTQ views.

Imagine if I were to say 'I don't hate or judge Christians. I make poor intellectual and moral decisions too.'
-
Might you feel I was within my rights to think so & say so but disagree strongly that Christianity is a poor intellectual & moral decision?
-
This is often how supporters of LGBT rights feel about Christians linking gay sex with other actions considered morally wrong.
-
Unfortunately a lot of Christians don't understand how to live without being judgemental of other people's life choices.
-
I do see the difference between being overtly so & being so in principle but not hostile. You still see gay relationships as sinful tho.
-
Yes, but I have no issue with gay couples, gay marriage or gay rights. I think no less of them than I do anyone else, including myself.
-
I get that!

I honestly wouldn't expect any non Christian to understand. But I'm always open to dialogue, to expand my understanding of ppl & vice versa.
-
I do understand. I think this is a fault of Christianity's whilst recognising that you are not a hateful person with no animus against LGBTs
-
As a Christian I love, welcome and embrace everyone in the LGBT community, as they are, as I would anyone else. All Christians should.
-
Dan, I get what you are saying. I recently defend Tim Farron on these grounds. I can still criticise lumping gay sex in with sins.
-
Of course, I was just trying to give context to my stance.
