It's not "throwing names around", it's using the appropriate word to describe people who fit the definition.
and your argument that you can hate homosexuality but not hate homosexuals is ridiculous, it's like saying, "i don't hate black people, i just hate the black people that act black"
"I don't mind asian people, as long as they don't do anything asian."
WTF.

Those aren't the best examples. My next door neighbour doesn't think homosexuality is natural and in a way finds it "weird" still. She's in her 60's so obviously stuck in her ways. But she doesn't have anything against gay people and wouldn't treat them any differently, she just doesn't understand it.
