There's a lot of debate on that view among the 'Christian' camp.
A fair majority of people I know that categorize themselves as 'Christian' are okay with people who are gay, to some varying degree. There are a small handful, however, who fall strictly opposed to gays, citing Bible verses about sodomy and so on, ranting about how gays are hell-bound and subhuman, and a few even go so far as to suggest more...extreme...measures.
For most things, these people are rather decent overall. I have a hard time associating with them, though, due to their severe issues with gays. Some of my better friends are gay.

Theyre ignorant, like racists. They dont really have a good reason for hating them.
There are a lot of sins too... It says something when they make such a big deal about that particular "sin".

Christians shouldn't be worried with the "sins" of anyone. They don't matter.
Jesus didn't call them to judge. He called them to comfort and love.
Most Christians are way too hung up on Heaven, Hell and sin. Real or imagined none of those things are going to make right now better, and making right now better will win over more people than the promise of a reward, or punishment, after your life is over.

It's a lot more than a small handful. Maybe where you live it is that way, but the vast Christians I have met, in various parts of the country, are not for homosexuality. Some may be polite and treat me normally, but in their view I am a sinner and god definitely isn't going be happy with me. They're brainwashed by their bigoted spiritual leader in most cases.
You can't paint it as a small minority misrepresenting the view of the many. It is not that way.

The pic is more or less true, God will be the one doing the judging souls and we mortals should be taking care of everyone regardless of "situation".
I am not sure what is has to do with a Christian speaking out against ideals that are immoral to them.

That's judgement.
Jesus doesn't want you walking around telling everyone what they're doing wrong.
He wants you to help them and be kind to them.
Speaking out against behavior you might not like does not do anything to help them, and it is not going to bring anyone closer to Jesus. Especially when that behavior isn't hurting anyone and it doesn't involve you.

I mean several verses are in the bible about homosexuality. But not just on homosexuality. And calling a sin a sin is not judging. However saying someone is going to hell is. The only one that knows that is Jesus and the person. But the bible says what a believer is and how one should conduct themselves. And in no way anywhere in the bible is ANY sin condoned for any reason.

I agree that the South is the most racist part of the country. This is probably because of its criminal past of having slaves, aparteid, and going to war against the US government in order to try to break away so that they could keep their slaves. Pure evil I say. EVIL.

My cousin went to school in Jacksonville and while he was there he ran a bus ministry for a holy roller baptist church that bussed inner city people to the church. Its very religious in that town for sure
The pacific NW is one of the least religious and most educated places in the US. Its the best place in the nation to live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Theres some parts here in FL that welcome and openly support gays like Orlando and Disney where they will host parades for LGBTs. A lot of LGBTs live in the urban parts of FL too like Tampa, Miami, etc., just to name a few. Don't get me wrong though FL is as red as any other right wing state if not redder.
