Scott Lively Doesn't Understand Why We Think He's Anti-Gay

From Pink News:
Lively addressed an anti-gay conference in Uganda just before the country’s homophobic law was first drafted, and is due to stand trial for Crimes Against Humanity for his role in encouraging anti-gay laws around the world.
The anti-gay activist – who previously failed in his bid to become Governor of Massachusetts – also cheered on anti-gay legislation in Russia, branding Putin an ‘unlikely hero’ for passing it.
However, despite his long track record of vile comments and active support for laws criminalizing homosexuality, Mr Lively has said he doesn't consider himself anti-gay.
He blogged:  “Most irritating and misleading is that all or most of the stories identify me (often in the title) as ‘anti-gay pastor’, as if that were some sort of professional title rather than an editorial comment.
“I strongly object to that characterization, which deliberately misrepresents my opposition to the mainstreaming of homosexual conduct as hatred of homosexual persons.
“The term ‘anti-gay’ effectively mistranslated the pro-family motto ‘Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin’, into ‘Hate the Sinner because of the Sin’.
“As such it is not an honest descriptor but a slur, and its use by the media is an act of complicity in a dishonest and manipulative LGBT political tactic.

“Much of what the public falsely believes they know about my views and actions in the culture war is the fruit of this tactic and similar manipulative spin by pro-‘gay’ journalists throughout the industry.”

The problem with  ‘Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin’ Scott, is its a bullshit statement.
I know Scott, you refuse to believe that homosexuality isn't a choice, its how people like you can live with yourselves over the way you demonize and dehumanize gay people...its our fault we are gay, if we just listened to people like you, who think you know the "truth" then everything would be right with the world and you wouldn't have take the *tough love* route.
Well, we are gay Scott and we have ever right to be gay and guess what, we don't have to take your medicine/cure, because it doesn't work.
So the reality is Scott, you are a monster and I sincerely hope you come to realize just how vile you and people like you truly are.
