Nobody can speak for God.

God does not intervene in the lives of mankind, humans have free will to live their lives as they see fit.

As humans we have the right to disagree with behavior we believe to be detestable.

Free will.

I don't think that the bible teaches that homosexuals are bad people, only that the act of homosexual intercourse is forbidden. We choose our behaviors and suffer the consequences or reap the rewards. It is up to us to choose wisely and up to God to judge our choices in the end.

Seriously how many threads are there on homosexuality right now? Are people really this obsessed?

Following this logic(just for a moment) God also doesn't approve of murder, premarital sex, and a host of other things, but that doesn't stop people from doing them.

God gave us freewill. This means that we have the ability to make choices and decisions that may not be acceptable to him.

Are you really using this as an argument?

If you read the posts of those who start these threads you'll see what group is obsessed with how gays are perceived by non-gays.

He intervened a lot in the OT. What does that mean?

Well said, society places limits on us or pay the consequences for the sake of society. Our parents placed limits on us or pay the consequences because they love us and only want what is best for us. God is no different.
