My brother-in-law likes to hold up the "gays are evil" passages to explain why he won't let the kid of a lesbian couple come to his house but during this conversation, I guess he forgets the "love everybody" stuff.
The answer is to just not bother venturing into conversation with people only equipped with tunnel vision. I rarely talk to my brother-in-law at all, preferring for our sole interactions to be grunts at Christmas, me calling him a fascist neo-Nazi under my breath or when I'm imagining stabbing him in the eye.
