In my experience most Christians follow the message of Christ, to love each other; however, the most vocal group - in America at least - appears to be the repent-or-die fire and brimstone preachers, who are more likely to turn people against Christianity than spread the message of love. In my opinion it wouldn't be a bad idea at all if the Old Testament was completely disregarded.

Also, there are happily several pro-gay websites which have sprung up in response to the infamous godhatesfags site. They're fighting a losing battle and they know it.
