love is not against the law

Perhaps I should spend today, Valentine's Day, focusing somewhat less on romantic love and boys and more on a nobler and less sexual form of love: love of neighbor.

Consider this famous passage on love, in the broad context of loving our neighbors as ourselves (and remembering Jesus' answer when asked who exactly our neighbors are):

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

What does it mean to believe and hope all things for our neighbors? Our poor neighbors? Our neighbors in Iran? The neighbors who are our enemies? How do I love my neighbors who make the assumption that I'm functionally not a Christian because I gave up fighting my gayness? How can I challenge conservative evangelicals to love their gay neighbors better?

I suppose when the Bible fails to be specific enough the Holy Spirit must step in and provide guidance.
