It's a huge step up for the context of the community, believe me. This sort of thing was what eventually got my mother-in-law to accept her gay son (a different son, not the one I'm married to, ya wankers.) A pastor told her that all sins were equal in God's eyes, and her sins (for example, gluttony) were just as bad as her son's homosexual "behavior."
Meeting people halfway is a lot more effective than staying put on the other side.
