Putting her here as an example of an extremist?

In a time of universal deceit — telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

No evidence whatsoever it can be attributed to George Orwell or Eric Arthur Blair (in fact the same guy)

If she is against homosexuality then she should take a closer look at her bible

If you were to read all four gospels thoroughly in search of the Nazarene's teachings on homosexuality, you will not find a single instance where he refers to it as a sin

In fact the Nazarene's disciples are disturbed by his strict teaching on divorce. The disciples say that if divorce is not a ready option, perhaps it would be best for a man not to marry a woman. The Nazarene responds:

Matthew 19:11-12
Not everyone can accept this teaching, but only those to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.

Here the Nazarene identifies three classes of men who should not marry women.

Eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs, those who foreswear marriage to better serve God.

Eunuchs made eunuchs by others, those whom have been castrated.

But the third is interesting. Eunuchs who have been so from birth. This terminology ("born eunuchs") was used in the ancient world to refer to homosexual men.

The Nazarene speaks no words of condemnation. Rather he lists people born gay alongside another honoured class (eunuchs for the kingdom), and accepts them as a natural part of God’s creation order.

Quoth the Raven "Nevermore"

Raven would rather ask questions that may never be answered, then accept answers which must never be questioned.
