We need to remember to teach that you can love a sinner and not embrace his/her sin.

Whether it is gluttony, slothfulness, homosexuality, or abortion it has to be seen as part of our sin nature that we all have. Once you tell a homosexual that you realize sin exists in ALL of us you take away the weapon they intend to use on you.

Also teaching that total depravity can only be overcome by the Spirit of God will make them realize they don't have to hate themselves.
