I have no issues with gays, im not physically attracted, and i think they are interesting people, often.
On the other hand i know like what... 10% of men ? more ? can be attracted by same sex: must be pretty disturbing for those having deep root in the neo-evangelists/baptists sects.

Oh believe me I don't mind them at all. We all have our struggle with sin. The problem arises when they actually embrace sin like it is a good thing.
I believe the words in the following verses:
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Romans 12:1-2
We are given one body. What we are given is holy and sacred. I will not defile my body because the Holy Spirit dwells within it.
I have never, ever known a Christian to be gay. If I were to ever meet one I would expect that they would be struggling with that sin as opposed to embracing it like many others do. The way I see it, those who celebrate and embrace SSM are not Christians. I do not associate with such people, here is why:
1 Corinthians 5:9-11 - 9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one.
This passage clearly defines marriage between one man and one woman.
Mark 10:6-9 - 6 But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ 7 ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, 8 and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. 9 What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”
Whether you believe these words or not is beside the point. I will not have anything to do with anyone who marries the same gender. It is not only unnatural but it is an abomination and detestable. It is a direct violation of God's law and it is celebrating sin.
