Can a Homosexual be a Good Person?

Can a homosexual engaged in a sexual relationship with another homosexual still be a good person worthy of your respect, love, and admiration? And, if so, does that mean you would accord that person a right to marry? Or does your respect, love, and admiration come with qualifying footnotes? But if it does come with such "footnotes", then is it genuine respect, love, and admiration?

Good personship has little to do with adult sexual preferences. It has a lot to do with wisdom. In a simpler form it is empathy, however wisdom is about a better world, where as empathy is about one person at a time.

I don't think it is good for other people to see it take place it can be traumatic for a lot of people to see such a thing.

nobody gets to choose their sexuality. but it is built into the mind of most humans to be shocked if they were to see such a thing as two men doing eeach other.

yes a person can be a good person regardless of their sexuality of course.

but sexuality is one of those things where it can cause a person a great deal of discomfort, trauma, guilt, regret, blush and shame.

If I had sex with a guy it would forever haunt me but I do have a soft spot in my heart for gays. They are often very sensitive and would never want to hurt anyone.

They have suffered a lot and don't want to be that way.

I have little almost no phobia of lezbos.

People are shocked for the most varied things, not always predictably. If that is a reason to attempt to hide things, I can think of a lot of things to come before homosexuality.

Yes, of course; a person who thinks otherwise is the one likely to lose my respect, love and/or admiration.

Absolutely yes to the first two questions :)

Homosexuals as a whole being generally good people in my experience, they seem to have a higher rate if anything.

I think restricting marriage to only a man and woman should go the way of the dinosaurs.

Biblical marriage has nothing to do with literal man and wife. It is a spiritually Union between the husband , the Lord (spirit) and wife (human body). Man's carnal mind has used the bible to oppress people forever. God is love. The bible isn't the word of God. English translations aren't always what they seem. We are born to love. A man or woman's earthly relationship is irrelevant to scripture and man does nothing but condemn himself by judging. We are all one.

Certainly, I can think of a number of beliefs that are shocking and seem shameful enough that I would expect people to hide them.

The truth is things like homosexuality don't really matter and to focus so much on it is a underhanded way of drawing attention away from the things that matter most such as the future of the planet.
