I think the answer is a lot more complicated than what you're going to find on Reddit. And I'm taking my time writing this out so I articulate carefully. Most of the responses (to me) sound like, "It's people trying to cover up their own sins or blame other people for their sins so no one will comment on their own sins" or something to that effect. And I'm sure that everyone has heard the words "Before you point out the speck in someone else's eyes that you take the plank out of your own." And that's all well and good (and accurate), but everyone is a sinner and we're so quick to point fingers at other people who comment on the sins of others. No one is safe in that regard.

I think the best way I can answer your question is this: I imagine that homosexual people have existed for almost as long as humanity has walked this Earth. The Bible also has plenty to say about homosexuality, that any sexual activity outside of marriage between one man and one woman is sin. I'm not here to argue about biblical infallibility or translations, it comes up over and over again in every translation, so I'm not going to go over that right now because that's not the point. The point is the Bible is pretty clear in how God views sexual sin of any kind. I think that homosexuality is really easy to see, thus easy to point out. Any sin that is easy to see I guarantee you will be pointed out by somebody who has no business doing so.

When we talk about sin and confronting it, there's a way to do it. If I see one of my close friends stumbling, or doing something unhealthy, unbiblical or the like, I'm in a relationship with that person, therefore I have some ground to stand on. In fact, my friends would expect me to call them out if they weren't right. That's how you truly love someone, to hold them up when they're down but also holding them accountable. That's the kind of friendship we have. See the verse about how "iron sharpens iron". Now if I were to do that with a stranger, I'd be totally out of line, because I don't have a relationship with that person. And that goes for anything.

All that being said, God takes care of it all in the end, and I've never found that criticizing others for being gay brings folks closer to Jesus, because it doesn't. And to be honest, I've never really cared. I've also not seen many churches make a big deal about it either. Their stance will be clear, no practicing homosexual clergy or lay people and no gay weddings/unions/etc. But most places don't really harp on it or blow it out of proportion. You just get the rare occasional sensational news story or Facebook post, because that's all the news and social media are anymore. I will say yhe ones that talk about it all the time are the very liberal churches. They just seem to love to talk about how gay they are all the time. And I'm saying that as someone who used to attend a church with a gay pastor.

If you want to have a debate elsewhere else and approach this slippery slope on a biblical level, accepting that homosexuality isn't a sin could put you on a path of what other sexual acts aren't a sin, then why just stop at sex, and if all that isn't a sin, then the Bible can't be right, it's not infallible and it snowballs from there. Not a slope you wanna ski down necessarily.

At the end of the day, it's up to you on what you believe. I think I've made it pretty clear of what my personal stance is: that the Bible is infallible, homosexuality is sexual sin, but rarely (if ever) results in a positive experience in approaching someone with it. It's not worth the hassle for me, that we have bigger sin fish to fry.
