What do those things have to do with morals? 'Causes' like you listed are meant to make the individual feel better....all pain free and

simple to be involved in yet important enough for those who take part because it gives them a sense of 'I'm doing my part'.

Love a gay person?

Why not just love all people? Why just gay? Being gay is something we're all 'taught' is now acceptable and if you don't accept it, then

something is wrong with you.

My older brother and all the people he lives with are drug addicts and raging alcoholics. If I didn't think it was a possibility that I could be killed by these people, then I would probably end up dead. And to be honest, I really wouldn't worry about my brother but the people around him.

I know there are some dark people out there and I feel sorry for some of you that have them in your life. I can only suggest that you plan for that day when you win.
