Matthew 5:43-48 (Love for Enemies)
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
- love your neighbor
- love your enemies
- pray for those who persecute you
- if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?

Why Homosexuality MUST Be Recriminalized!
For one who claims to be a Christian, apparently the OP is either uninforned or choses to ignore Christ's command that we should "love our neighbors" including those we would consider to be our "enemies."
There is a reoccuring theme throughout the Bible that how we choose to judge our "neighbors" (including those who hate and persecute us) is how we will be judged by God!
The OP would "recriminalize" homosexuals oblivious to the fact that that it was the "criminal" from "The Thief on the Cross," and not those who were administering "justice," who was promised a place in "Paradise!"
