Why do we judge, punish, and unfairly treat those who have a different sexual lifestyle than we do?
You say because it's a sin.
Well, guess what.... Your porn addiction, your lies, your promiscuity, and your prejudice are equally sinful in God's eyes. But did society penalize you by not letting you enjoy and share in the health benefits and other privileges that come with being married to the one you love? No.
So, why do we think so highly of ourselves that we dare to decide how a fellow human being deserves to be mistreated when we are just as sinful?
Matthew 7:1
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."
Let God be the judge of our actions. And until that day of judgment comes, remember to do this each and every day of our numbered lives:
John 15:12
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you."
