This sounds a lot like the phrase you hear a lot "hate the sin but love the sinner." A good principle, but hard to follow (I see a lot of hating the sinner going on).
I guess my question would be, how do you separate the person from the R. Isn't a person's behavior in large part who that person is? If you love/accept the person but not the R, what are you in fact loving/accepting about that person? Their ideas/words? Non-R behavior?
And what if the problem in the R is sex/intimacy/affection, but the LD person considers their LD to be an integral part of who they are?
Not disputing what you are saying, it makes a LOT of sense to me. I'm just trying to organize it in my head. Thanks for listening.
