I'm not an uber religious person, but the major teachings (from my understanding) of Christianity is, "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12:29)

A Jewish look, "What is hateful to you, do not to your fellow man. This
is the law: all the rest is commentary." (Talmud, Shabbat 31a)


It doesn't say "love your fellow man unless they're gay" or "unless they have red hair" or whatever else you don't like or don't agree with. Who are "they" (meaning the hurt church people) to deny anyone happiness?
