Needed to get this off my chest.

I've been reading a lot about the Christian stance on homosexuality lately, particularly since all that election razmataz in America.

And there seems to me to be two camps in the Christian world, the 'homosexuality is the worst sin EVER' camp and the 'well, we don't keep the rule about women's head coverings, why should we keep the rule about no gay sex?' camp.
I'm not in either of those.
Personally, and you may feel free to disagree with me, I think that the most important guide we have in the Bible is the behaviour of Jesus Christ, the living embodiment of God on Earth. What did Jesus do when faced with sinners who were living outside of the religious community and had the direct condemnation of God's law? He didn't sit at home and write petitions against them. He didn't stand outside their houses with placards of hate. He hung out with them. He had dinner with them. In Luke 7:34 he acknowledges that the Pharisees call him 'a drunkard and a glutton, a friend of tax collectors and sinners'.
 One of my favourite stories about Jesus comes from John 8:1-11. The religious leaders bring before Jesus a woman who has been caught in adultery and according to the holy law she ought to be stoned to death. Jesus says "If any of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her", and they are floored. There is no response. The only person fit to judge the woman for her wrongdoing is Jesus, and does he pick up a rock to throw at her? No. He waits until every one of her accusers has left and then says, "I do not condemn you either. Go now and leave your life of sin."
Who is it that Jesus openly condemns? I recommend that you turn to Matthew 23 for that; it's a longish passage for me to put here, but the basic idea is that the people who make it hard for others to come to God are the ones worthy of rebuke.
Jesus does not condone sin: he does not say that it means nothing. If sin meant nothing to Jesus he would not have died to wash it away. He would not have had to die. Jesus is concerned enough about sin that he was willing to die in pain - his response to sin was to endure the worst agony because of love for the sinners embroiled in it. If Jesus, who took sin very seriously, can respond with love to people living lives of wrongdoing, then how could we, people who are just as guilty of wrong, people who need forgiveness just as desperately... how could we sit by and condemn and hate our fellow sinners? According to Romans 3:23, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Jesus specifically says, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged," which is a pretty full on statement that cannot be hedged around.
When Christians are called to notice the sin of others in the Bible, when is that? Galatians 6:14 says, "... if someone is caught in sin, you should restore him gently. But watch yourself or you may also be tempted." Whose sin are we supposed to address? Our own sin, and, very, very carefully, that of our fellow believers. In Matthew 18:15-17 Jesus says, "Moreover, if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. "But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that 'by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.' "And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector." And even as you read that, remember how Jesus treated heathens and tax collectors. WITH LOVE.

I think that as Christians we need to reassess our collective behaviour in regard to political matters. It's all very well to say HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN, but, really, anyone who can read a Bible can find that out. It's well known that homosexual behaviour is not acceptable according to God's law. THE LOVE OF GOD AS SHOWN BY HIS PEOPLE is not well known by the population at large and that is a very serious problem.
