I understand where you are coming from, GC. I really do. I don't question that they love their daughter either. That's never been my position. Parents want what is best for their child. I get that.
I do understand the concept of "Love the sinner, hate the sin" as it would apply to something like alcoholism or thievery. I also understand that in their mind, there is no difference between those examples and homosexuality.
My frustration comes from the fact that when the concept "LTS, HTS" is applied to being gay, it can actually do more harm than good, IMO, even if that harm isn't deliberate.
