I don't know if I would say this.  I don't know what Mr. Warren
believes, but, as has been mentioned before, sin is sin.  To be
consistent, though, if you demonize your homosexual neighbor, you also
need to demonize your neighbor that just fudges on his taxes, lusts
after women, or just lives as if God doesn't exist (even if he is a
"good guy").

ALL of us are sinners.  Some of us are under the blood of Jesus Christ.
 Without the grace and mercy of God, we're all headed to the same place
whether we just don't acknowledge God in our lives or are blatant
homosexuals or are serial murderers.

Just some perspective.
