I'm a Christian.

To be honest my standpoint is "hate the sin, love the person", homosexuality is biblically a sin, but it doesn't mean we should hate the people, thats not a ministry at all. It is grace that saves you, not actions, the reason you try to live without sin is because of your love for God. The Bible is pretty clear on this topic too... "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone", "don't try and remove the speck from your brothers eye untel you remove the plank from your own eye" (this is my paraphrase, i'll pull out direct quotes and refrences if you want later). Your problem doesn't seem to be with biblical christianity, it seems to be with leagalism. Leagalism isn't a problem with the religion or with God, but more a problem with more imperfect people. Jesus spent a good portion of his time dealing with a few groups of leagalistic Jews, they were called the Pharases.
