Question for LGBT-friendly Christians: how do you square those positions with the various verses on the Bible that condemn homosexuality?
I can certainly buy "separation of church and state" arguments on those verses to say, make civil unions (or possibly gay marriage) legal and what not; as well as possibly other policy implications in politics. But that still does not touch the religious side of things.
How would you square the various verses that condemn homosexuality (pretty sure there are lots of them; though I can't name them since I am not a practicing Christian myself ) with being an actively practicing Christian?
They either don't apply or had malicious translation behind them.
