Not everyone is going to "be cool with" gay people as much as you may wish. But her response is just about the best possible situation that can arise from conventional Christian tradition.
She was asked, she answered the question , nobody has to kiss y'all ass SHE SAID WHAT SHE SAID!

I live in a very conservative community filled with devout Christians who oppose gay marriage. There are some -- not all, and dare I say not even the majority -- who maintain this position while still interacting with gay people as warmly and friendly as anyone else. As friends, even.
How does this compare to alchohol. Being gay isn't a lifestyle, a choice, or whatever.
It's the same as being black, the same as being bald, etc. Like it's just you, and you can't change it.
If you disagree with it, how can you completely be accepting and liking of people who are gay.

**** that, I'd rather not interact with two faced individuals who are in a state of cognitive dissonance.

Okay, then not all gays will like it when she calls being a homosexual a lifestyle.

In my experience, people only do that 'til a certain extent.
At least she apologized. That's a lot more than some can say.
because her label/handlers forced her to out of fear she would destroy her career before it began I do not believe this was a sincere apology for one second
If gays want people to listen to their cause, they have to be nice and educative instead of dragging them, having a bad attitude and making them feel uncomfortable.
