Not sure this is the right place, but I have been moved before.
When I started writing fiction, my dad encouraged me to include in each novel some discussion on a religious topic. In my first book, I touched on the plan of salvation and living together before marriage. Those worked fine.
In the sequal, I want a discussion of homosexuality. I want it in the context that refusing to allow freedom of religion to not accept homosexuality is akin to having your personal freedom taken from you. All of this while demonstrating personal respect. However, it is not working. The rest of the book is going fine. This one little section has me blocked.
My attempts, so far, have the older man sounding arrogant and condesending the younger man (gay) sounds flat and unemotional. I am trying to catch the voice for a mutual conversation with realism. If you can help, I need four lines or so of dialog between a gay and an anti-gay so I can get the voice.
No arrogance, no anger, but with each side communicating logic and self-confidence. Don't respond with anything copywrited as I may, with your permission, use it to start the dialog in my book.
