There are Christians who shun some ‘sinners’ more than others
Although there is no mention of homosexuality as a sin (or even as a concept) in the Holy Bible, some people who call themselves devout take it upon themselves to avoid gay weddings.

Homosexuality, by that or any name, is not forbidden by the Ten Commandments.
