Not in the Eyes of God they aren't.
OK... I'm Christian and believe in right and wrong and sin and all that but I have to take exception to this--I sincerely don't believe gays are any better or worse than anyone else in the eyes of God. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23, KJV).
God doesn't hate gays. Anyone who thinks He does, doesn't really get it. The Bible warns against many other sins, many of which I'm guilty of. The difference is--I'm not marching in the streets screaming for my (mis)behavior to have public sanction and legal protection.
And yeah--browbeating little old ladies and singling out the Mormon church is pretty weenie. I'd like to see the gays picket a Hell's Angels chapter that voted for Prop 8--now that would impress me!
