The part of the quote that bothers me the most is that when she was struggling with her identity her friends turned their back on her.

Shunning of any kind puts the lie to “hate the sin love the sinner”.

If you truly love someone you stick by them no matter what differences you have with them about how they live or what they believe.

As individuals if more Christians™ concentrated on applying their laws to themselves they would be too busy to impose them on others. That applies to Jihad and Islam too.
