You are NOT a Christian.  Christ clearly does not condone homosexual
activity.  I said good riddance to homosexuals who claim to be married,
I didn't say good riddance to all homosexuals.  Read Leviticus closely
before claiming to be a Christian while at the same time claiming
to support those who engage in homosexual behavior.

The bible isn't the only source of material that argues with the
idea that homosexual activity should be permissible.  There is 
evidence, scientific evidence, that homosexual behavior puts the 
people involved at greater risk of contracting disease than those 
who don't engage in homosexual activities.

I stand by my good riddance comment.  It doesn't make me a homophobe
nor does it scare away people who are serious about being Christians.

Being Christian, following Christ, means that you accept His teachings
on how to behave sexually and on what marriage is.  Marriage is defined
in genesis as being between 1 man and 1 woman.  Homosexual activity is
banned in Leviticus.

The bible is clearly against homosexual behavior, why are you ignoring
it?
