I understand the church being against "promiscuity" but it and gayness are two different things aren't they?

just as heterouals are not all promiscuous or prostitutes although some definitely are...it's quite unreasonable to say that being gay only means lots of with lots of guys and drugs and booze and promiscuity and disease and that you are going to hell... no, that is so wrong. There is no one gay lifestyle... there are as many lifestyles as there are gay people ...as there are people having lives.
