Well, if they "object to homosexual behavior," then they shouldn't participate in it. Otherwise it should have absolutely no impact on their lives. Kudos to them for respecting the need for equal rights for all. FYI I don't participate in heterosexual behavior, but I certainly don't begrudge others the right to perform it.

I'm not sure your question makes sense. EVERYONE deserves respect, regardless of their proclivities. And I reject the concept of 'homophobic'. That's an equally disrespectful term. Homosexual behavior is sinful. But once this has been made clear to the person, a true Christian can go no further. Judgment is God's department, not ours. We ALL sin one way or another. It's rather hypocritical to claim anyone else is worse than first person singular.

Because people shouldn't need to be "given credit" for treating someone with respect. That should just be a given.
