You're saying you dislike the behavior or "lifestyle" (ftr, LGBT* people have many different lifestyles, there is no such thing as one "gay lifestyle" :P), correct?

But the word "homosexuality" does not mean any behavior or lifestyle, it means being attracted to people of the same gender.

When you say "homosexuality is a sin" you mean that certain actions are a sin, right? But what LGBT* people hear is "my existence is a sin," because you are conflating actions with orientation. Actions are obviously choices, but LGBT* people don't choose to be the way they are. So if you clarify that your position is against behavior and not against people, that would be great.

Homophobia is defined as an extreme and irrational aversion to homosexuality or homosexual people. Aversion meaning "strong dislike." So stating you dislike homosexuality can be homophobic even if you don't dislike the people. What you don't realize is that one aspect of my beliefs regarding homosexuality is that I believe being homosexual is indeed a choice. I dislike that choice. That's my belief.
