so that you can recruit them to your side and shame them into lying to themselves about who they are.
You haven't met many people who ACTUALLY fit the OP, if you really believe this.
You are still unfairly putting yourself as an authority over someone else and their personal life. It's stupid pseudo-sympathetic bullshit. You pretend to love the person, even though you hate an important part of their identity, so that you can recruit them to your side and shame them into lying to themselves about who they are. It's in the same category as saying, "You are one of the good ones" to someone about their race.

It's nothing like your post
Being racist is a sin
For example, someone might think that homosexuality is unnatural, and still treat gay people as equals and be indifferent to or even support gay marriage
The info in the OP is about a person who does not like a part of someone's personality/identity, but still treats them as an equal.

How can you treat them as an equal if you inherently view an integral part of them as a 'sin'? How is that any different than hating someone's race?

When you find someone who actually does that, let me know

There's a difference in how you view someone and how you treat them... That's what I'm getting at. Ever have an intrusive thought that you've never acted upon (Hint: everyone has these)? That might actually be the best example someone can offer.

Isn't actively condemning them acting on it?
Depends on what you view actively condemning as. Mentally, no. Going out and speaking against it at a rally or something, but no to people individually, that's acting on it for sure. I mean, I don't like tattoos at all but I treat people with them as good as anyone else, even though I fucking hate tattoos. Did I mention that I hate tattoos? And the people with them act shocked when I tell them this (only if they ask me why I don't have any or what they should get next or what I think of one, as I don't tell them I'm not interested, as it is not warranted, until this question).
Eh, they're better than your typical Christians but still weak of the mind because they can't speak for themselvesHave you ever thought about not shit posting your shit generalizations? Probably not.
The majority of Christians think homosexuality is unnatural even though lots of animals other than humans do it? Hmmm
