"Anti-gay bullying is a theological issue because it has a theological base. I find it difficult to believe that even those among us with a vibrant imagination can muster the creative energy to picture a reality in which anti-gay violence and bullying exist without the anti-gay religious messages that support them."

The words "pluck the log out of your own eye" occur to me. Unlike many here, I do believe that homosexuality is a sin, but that in no way justifies violence against gays. No way. Which makes me think that there is something more to it than just a "theological" base. Because if it were just theological, then the "theological base" would be used to justify violence against other kinds of sinners, and yet that isn't happening. No lynching of suspected adulterers, no bashing of blasphemers... why?
