Christians: what's your favorite anti-gay bible passage?

I just read this as answer, if you wondered what caused me to ask this:

"but my favorite anti-gay Bible passage is 1st Corinthians 6:9-10"

To me it sounds a bit like "My favorite quote about non-believers burning in a lake of fire is..." But, whatever floats your boat.

So, I wondered: which are your favorite quotes that condemn others? Are there any condemning verses in particular that make you feel all tingly inside when you read them?

Update:

Emerson: there is no stereotyping here. I didn't choose to follow a book that condemns others. ALL Christians choose to follow that book.

    Don't allow yourself to slip into stereotyping. Just because I am a Christian does not mean I condemn homosexuals or that I hate them. I love all people; I have several gay friends who I absolutely love. Do I agree with them? No. Do I hate them? Of course not! Be careful not judge the group based on one person's actions. I mean, isn't that what this "Christian" did?

    EDIT: Christians do follow the Bible, that is quite true; however, your prooftexting skills are poor. Read everything in context. Remember Christians are essentially "little Christs," which means that we are to go around lifting up the oppressed and helping the poor and feeding the hungry. I am trying to do that...no matter who I help, no matter their sexual orientation. Again, you mustn't fall into stereotyping.

    Personally, I'm a big fan of Thessalonians 2, verse 12 -- it's not anti-gay or anything like that, but talks about condemning people, so it's cool.

    This states that those that believe lies are going to Hell. So... the list of those going to Hell happens to include the people that told me to read the Bible in the first place.

    Sweet, sweet irony...

    I don't have a favorite anti-gay passage, I actually couldn't tell you where they are unless I look them up. When I read the bible, I read to help me through things in my life. I don't read to find ways to condemn other people's actions. The only time I look up these type of scriptures is if someone asks a specific question that calls for them to be looked up.

    Let me see...A Holy God makes a way for sinful man to come back into relationship with him if he will only repent and turn from his sin.

    So, my pick would be this one:

    "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." Mark 16:16.

    And said unto them, " Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things." Luke 24:46-48.

    If you have vengeful feelings about other people even if they are sinners you will be judged by Jesus. I am against gay myself but I don't condemn them because I am not the judge. I pray for them and hope they will understand the Lord one day and remorse. Love your enemy...you can't do that, then you are not a Christian. Just because you believe in Jesus does not make you a christian... you must be one also...

    Matthew 7.21-23...Don't try to be the ones that are rejected because you will if you continue like this.

    [David and Jonathan]

    “And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place towards the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.”

    1 Samuel 20:41

    And yes, "exceeded" means... what you think it means...

    ...Oops, sorry. You wanted an *ANTI*-gay passage. I didn't see that bit.

    ROMANS 1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator- who forever praised. Amen

    26.Because of this God gave them over to shameful lusts.Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.27.In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. 28.Furthermore since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God he gave them over to adepraved mind to do what ought not to be done

    The sin of sodomy is grave sin, but the bible isn't condemning the homosexuals, the heterosexuals who engage in sodomy are equally guilty of a grave sin

    The Roman Catholic Bible doesn't condemn homosexuals
