Jo,
The answer is no to your questions. Just because I believe that homosexuality is wrong or a sin or whatever, doesn't mean I am homophobic. I once lived with a gay guy many years ago, and had other people I considered friends who also happened to be gay. I don't swing that way, and as a Christian, I believe it iis a sin. Does that mean that I hate gays? Certainly not! I am directed by God's word to love all sinners, but to hate all sin.
WIt's not fair to label Christians as "homophobes" or other derogatory names just because they oppose homosexaulity.
