The bible I read tells me to love everyone and that everyone is equal. The Christian right, I guess, apparently skipped over that part. It's just so absurd to opress others because you think they are committing a huge sin against your religion. To call someone a sinner and deny them basic rights is incredibly hypocritical of them and isn't it a sin to judge others?
A friend of mine is a Christian and she voted for Kerry. Someone was shocked when she told them she voted for Kerry and the person's response was: "But aren't you a Christian?" We had a discussion about this and my response would've been: "Exactly. I am a Christian and that is precisely why I am a Democrat. Bush and the right do not represent my Christian values."
