Last post, they shouldn't be in the equation. Even the mere mention of biblical love (eros is never condoned) for a neighbor is like attaching unrelated information to a political bill. The biblical penalty for homosexuality or transvestites is death, and there shouldn't be any blood guilt. However, it is obvious that humanistic schools of thought appeal to misplaced empathy and compassion.And if you show love and compassion toward LGBTQ people, you are accused of condoning that lifestyle ...which isn't true. How can we bring Christ to the broken if all we do is preach at them or hate them?
That's a fact from Scripture! Not an opinion, however; I will point out that this was for the civil magistrates.
Confess and "REPENT," the church isn't to host unrepentant sinners, let alone malign the Scripture by humanistic reasoning. Paul is clear about excommunication, which is casting out of the church and leaving the reprobate to the devil (case study: sexual immorality, incest, 1 Corinthians 5:1–5). By their fruits they'll be known. This is what G-d commands in both the OT and NT.
But, soon after this post, others will observably offer humanistic worldly virtue, and, like always, the same people that cause the problem always have the solution; man knows best.
From a theological perspective, homosexuality violates even the seven universal laws of the Noahide covenant:
Made in Our Image: When Man Plays G-d by Remaking G-d in His Own (Increasingly Queer and Tolerant) Image - Isaiah School
In this sharp biblical critique, discover how the inversion of imago dei fuels modern idolatry—from projecting disordered sexual passions onto a “tolerant” G-d to trading scriptural conviction for cultural approval. Drawing heavily on Romans 1, the article exposes humanity’s ancient habit of...

And to address the compulsion for free will offerings or charity: compulsion or law violates the very definition of not only charity but grace as unmerited favor.

G-d bless and Soli Deo Gloria.
