Here is a good article that I just read about this whole Duck Dynasty debate. This is the only article I've read that talks about the true conflict that has really been ignored. IMO.

yeah, i saw that earlier.
i disagree that it is 'strongly condemned' in the bible.

and this just came out, which bears that out.
as for people justifying hate because it's their 'religious belief', it's still hate...and is counter to what the original christian had to say about loving one another, not judging, etc.
people have freedom of speech...and of course freedom of religion. however, their freedom to swing their religious fist ends at the tip of the other guys nose.
many christians don't focus on the OT, unless it's to support an argument they are making. for the most part, it's thrown out as archaic...again, til useful.
since so many supposed christians pick and choose what's sinful, they are out on a limb when using their religions as their reason for judging.
how great a sin when it's someone else committing it.
