John Corvino, the Gay Moralist, takes a look at the Fundie claim that one must hate the sin and love the sinner (never mind, for the moment, that gay love isn't a sin). If one loves the sinner one should strive to be sensitive to the sinner's needs. If the Fundies really followed that idea they should at least end up with a big case of cognitive dissonance.
Are Fundies sensitive to the sinner's needs if their actions cause gay kids to commit suicide?
The standard Fundie response is to say, "Gay suicides are terrible! But…" As in, "But gay sex is wrong!"
Which means priorities are all wrong. Before you feed the hungry do you make sure they won't burp at the dinner table? Every mention of gay people should not be used as a chance to condemn them. The priorities should be to love the gay person, sin or no, and to battle against the real sins that are killing him.
