Isn’t worshipping some other deity other than Allah a bigger sin? Are you also concerned that Muslims having non-Muslim friends is going to threaten their “core religious beliefs”?

Umm…what the heck is the problem, Potter? The person that you’re quoting is not quite sure of her own stance on the matter, so what’s the need to get so emotional? Why the hell do you feel the need highlight other more “bigger” sins as a way to downplay homosexuality? I don’t get why people do that. I guess we all do it when we’re feeling defensive. And it reads like a …“Hey don’t look at this, feast your on eyes on that instead.” Pointing to other sins does NOT lessen the gravity of the sin or societal ill in question; so quit harping on that point.

Good news is that gay-marriage or gay friends won’t turn anyone’s children gay. It might make them aware of all the diversity that the world has to offer. If they turn out to be gay, if won’t be because of the gays’ supposed secret agenda, it would be because they were born that way. Sexuality is a spectrum, not a rigid box and that means that yes, your children/siblings/cousins/friends may turn out to be gay and only thing your homophobia or lack of support for gay rights is going to ensure is they never finding it in themselves to live a freer life.
**Yes, we all know that homosexuality is not an air-borne or highly contagious beemari; there was no need to point that out. Going by your logic it can also be said that the good news is that just because zina has become rampant and acceptable doesn’t mean that your children will engage in it. Just because (insert issue) is commonplace…doesn’t mean your kids will …bla bla blaabadee bla blaa. I doubt there’s a secret agenda behind them either and while variety is the spice of life, it is also sometimes the bane of society especially as the masses become more and more dismissive with time. **
