Re: Trade Rumours 2024
You're so close to getting it...
Anyone describing a homosexual as a sinner is being homophobic, whatever their beliefs. This sort of language is offensive and degrades the lives of many Australians.
The other labels are all, to a large degree, a choice. Thieves, adulterers, drunks, atheists, fornicators, etc. These are all things that people choose to do. Those people also have every right to be offended too (though I doubt the atheist cares who Jesus is going to save), but there is a clear difference in offence for me between calling a homosexual and a drunk sinners.
