That's a crazy notion. We can 'acknowlege' evil acts and we can seek to counter evil systems without judgement of individuals or groups. You can't assert with any certainty, as Folau does, that homosexuals will go to hell.
We are obliged to acknowledge “flaws”, (sins, in other words), even if we are ourselves guilty of the same sins. It’s called honesty, as opposed to Mr-Nice-Guyness.
But to do that as Christian has a high price. We have to be prepared to be judged as we judge, to only cast the first stone if we haven't sinned, to seek out the plank in our own eye first.
Folau asserts that homosexuals are bound for hell because of who they are and not for what they do -- his admonishment didn't talk about 'acts', it talked about a whole group of people.
The Catholic Church -- Folau's idoloters -- doesn't assert that homosexuality is a sin, let alone a sin worthy of hell.
