You might object that loving people is more important than liking
them, so shouldn't I be emphasizing that instead? I know that love is
supposed to be biblical and all, yet I've become somewhat suspicious of
that approach. I've noticed that we tend to justify committing all sorts
of abuses and cruelties against people in the name of love (at least our
idea of love), particularly against our gay friends and family members.
Don't ask me why. All I know is that if you work on how you're going to
"be loving" toward someone who is gay, you're liable to say or do
something very un-Christian. But if you work on liking someone, you'll
have a much better chance of being like Christ to them.
