I got sucked into a rabbit hole of conservative Cheistian "reaction" pieces to the SCOTUS decision, and what I'm struck with is the understanding of homosexuality as a "sin" because it's seen as a "practice." It's like stealing, cheating, addiction, etc. There's a (likely deliberate) unwillingness to understand homosexuality as something much more akin to gender or race -- that is something someone *is* rather than something someone *does*. They understand that there's all sorts of sin out there, but they seem to feel that homosexuality is now aggressively celebrated by the culture, like binge drinking or cannabis. I find it willful, but maybe some people really do think it's just about fucking.
The best way to combat this is for gay people to, firstly, be out, and, secondly, to share their lives with others. Certainly, there are differences. But not really too many.
