What impels someone to make a concerted effort to preach,
protest, denigrate or even assault another person because that person is
attracted to their own sex? It’s madness. Imagine rising each day with hatred in your heart and a compulsion to tell gays they are going straight to hell for their “lifestyle”. Did you
choose your sexual orientation? Well, neither did they.
It is disturbing to hear Blacks speak offensively about gays and rail against gay marriage. Remember when you were fighting for your civil rights? Was not too long ago and now you think it is right to deny others their rights. Enlighten me as to why a significant
number of this world`s population should not have all the rights and benefits
accorded to others. It seems in most parts of the world, gays are under constant
threat of beatings and even death. In 2009, an article in Time asked if Jamaica is: The Most Homophobic Place on Earth? Law
makers in Uganda tried to enact an anti-gay law that could see the death penalty for some acts. Thankfully, it failed.
Not An Option |
How will allowing gay people to marry destroy traditional marriage? You know, the whiz-bang job being done by straight people with no divorce, no separation, no re-marriage; just a shining example for
gays to follow. I have never figured this one out.
I have gay relatives and friends and we interact in the same
way as my straight relatives and friends. We are here on this earth for such a short time, it should be better spent understanding and caring about each other than in creating pain. Live
and let live is a nice attitude to cultivate.
Christians, try to be more like the compassionate Jesus of the gospels
and less like the vengeful God of the Old Testament. Remember what Mahatma Gandhi said, “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.“
Will keep you posted.
THANK YOU for this beautiful, eloquent, honest, and powerful statement! Our only hope is that the dinosaurs who are filled with homophobia and hate, will soon be dead and just as extinct!
