I have also seen mischaracterizations about Christian views on sexuality, suggesting that they are hateful, rather than a commandment from God that applies to all sex- including heterosexual sex- outside a Biblical marriage.
This is like saying that "I'm not a sexist for saying wives should submit to their husbands, because it's the word of God."
Bigotry that stems from religious belief is still bigotry.
Aren't the members of the Taliban who force women to wear burqas just following the word of God?
Stop trying to force your religious beliefs on to the rest of us, and we'll treat your beliefs with more respect.
