Prejudice.

When religious people address controversial issues like homosexuality there is always a backlash of prejudice.

But we should not pander to prejudice.

It should be made clear that prejudice is no basis for spiritual policy-making.

God does not discriminate.

Homosexual love is equivalent to heterosexual love.

God makes no distinction.

So when people respond from a position of prejudice we should not allow them to dominate the debate.  

We should make decisions based on love.

For God is Love.
