text: First: I said "personal freedom for believers".  Is your friend Jason professing belief in Christ and submitting to Gods authority?  If no then not only do I not see any problem with that but I have no right to judge or even offer my opinion in the first place!  But if yes, then I believe the way in which he denies his own desires for the desires of Christ should be examined.  Just like someone who professes Christ but knowingly is greedy, uses porn, is disrespectful etc.. needs to reevaluate their commitment to living like Jesus.
  
  Second: My different belief is not in itself bigotry.  Bigotry is what you do in light of different beliefs, not the harboring of different beliefs itself.  My opinion that homosexuality may be a symptom of a broken relationship between humanity and God does not equate hate or intolerance towards a single individual.  Compassion for others despite differences is literally why Jesus exists.  Not saying I do this well but I make a conscious effort...
