If a Christian person wants to say that their conscience would be significantly offended or violated by serving or helping a gay person or married gay person, I think the Christian should examine WHAT is informing their conscience...!?--Is it possible their conscience wants to act on prejudice or homophobia...? I believe people need to have a proper understanding of gays and their legitimate needs before they can answer these questions...? Maybe that's the problem--that they don't have enough credible information?
Dictionary.com says one of the meanings of "prejudice" is: "an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason." Conservative Christians believe that the practise of homosexuality is a sin...but that's not the only consideration or the only information we need, I'd say...! I think it's harsh to say that sin is sin, and to stop there.... The Bible says "God is love," and we need to consider all the angles....
From what I've seen and heard, it seems many conservative Christians are speaking or acting on uninformed prejudice against homosexuality....
