[Ghoulish Delight]

Okay, to be fair, there's an angle here I can understand.

Let's say you're a parent. Your child is a thief. Not just been caught shoplifting once beause a friend dared them, but a truly habitual thief. A compulsive robber. Such a thing exists, habitual criminals that are addicted to it just as someone can be addicted to gambling. There are laws against it, you consider it a deplorable act, but they can't help themselves. It's just part of their psyche, who they are. Do you still love them? Do you still not respect their actions?

Now, I in know way compare theft and homosexuality. However, this is where these parents are coming from. They DO believe homosexuality is wrong, just as you would believe theft is wrong. But just because your child does something wrong doesn't mean you don't love them, nor does it mean you don't still think the act is wrong. So while I disagree with the conclusion that the act is wrong, can you at least understand how the seemingly contradictary statements of, "I don't support your actions, and think they should be illegal, but I still love you," isn't as outlandish as it seems?
