Gay moral majority

I love the man who preached the sermon at tonight's service. He is genuine, loving, and has lived what he proclaims. He's the real deal as far as I'm concerned. But he said something that illustrates our scitzofrenia. That we need to affirm that homosexuality is wrong in all of society and yet we are compelled to only judge Christians. We preach transformation, but are most comfortable with conformance. Why do we feel so frightened by homosexuality? Just asking the question assumes I'm asserting that I'm pro-gay, but I really am asking as objectively as possible if this is one of the big rallying issues that Jesus or Paul would have spent much energy on?

In 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 we are told that homosexuals will not inherit "the Kingdom." And this message is preached forcefully in hundreds or thousands of pulpits every week. But can't all of us who claim to love Jesus find acts that fit the formula of disinheritance in these verses (unrighteous - those living outside of the holiness of God, idolatry - those attributing to anything the worship and love that's supposed to go to God, thieves - those who take what is not theirs or what they haven't legitimately earned, greedy - those who lack contentment and allow consumption to drive them, etc.)?

I guess when gay marriage is put on ballets as an election strategy to get Christians to the polls, or those proclaiming to love life and having power in the Presidency, House, and Senate to initiate change find it advantageous to keep abortion laws as-is; when almost a million people are killed in genocide in a non-oil producing nation and we hear little of it or are essentially reactionless as a nation - I wonder what's happened to the Moral Majority that was just trying to help make America resemble societally the best of the Kingdom? I'm convinced more than ever that I fit much more the person of a Pharisee than the freedom of Christ. I hate this, but hope others will do a little navel-gazing as well. I'm not the only one...

1Cor. 6:9-10 ¶ Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Praise God that this passage is not the end of the story...
