Christianity and gay people. What are your thoughts of this?
This is a short clip from the Anglican Archbishop of South Africa Thabo Makgoba. Successor of Desmond Tutu(the famous anti-apartheid activist) he is condemning anti-LGBT violence and discrimination. He takes a somewhat conservative view of sexuality, but says that is no reason for bigotry and that we are called to respect difference.
He states that the ultimate moral responsibility is what was asked in the Good Samaritan parable, who is my neighbor.

We should absolutely respect other people and not be going around screaming at them and attacking them. At the same time we cannot compromise our faith. We should always share the love of Christ but we should also realize that we will never be accepted by this world. so if acceptance or being accepted by this world is our goal that it is the wrong goal to have and it leads to compromising who we are in Christ. We are not called to share the same opinions as everybody else. we are called to be set apart from the world

Are you really so shallow that you think Christianity would normally condone violence for gay people?

Aren't we all sick of self appointed commentators on morality and social issues?
