Jesus would love and accept gay people, because they were born that way.
​
What you've quoted from the Bible and concluded would be ok if there wasn't specific mention in the Bible against homosexuality. Working from memory only, I believe Deuteronomy says commiting the act of homosexuality should be punished by stoning.
​
And if I'm not mistaken, Jesus says to continue to obey all of his Father's laws.
​
So if Jesus was obeying his Father's laws, he would have to condemn homosexuals to death by stoning. I would imagine the idea of homosexuals getting married would be unacceptable to him as well. Jesus would see homosexuality as the racist of the South saw interracial unions.

Yet Jesus stopped the stoning of an adulteress.
​
Well he was still human.
​
I was just applying AE's logic of how he interpreted the passages he quoted to other passages. I don't personally think Jesus hated or would have stoned homosexuals, but one-dimention interpretations of the Bible could lead to concluding he did hate them.
​
I think your reading of what he meant by his Father's laws is too simplistic.
​
So was AE's, and that was my point.

I was born straight and my mum is gay so I guess nature beat nurture for me.
​
Immaculate conception?
