I would ask that you also respect the beliefs of the millions of other Christians who don't agree with you; it's not a one-way street. I would also ask again that you specifically identify where Jesus is quoted as having said anything about homosexuality (and I'm not talking about the Old Testament or Paul). In any event I don't think this is the right forum for you, as progressive Christians do not accept what you believe about this issue.
