"My side" uses the same tactics as gay activists when they think it is to their advantage. I debunk them when given the opportunity. I read something from Dave Hunt that blames homosexuals for the AIDS pandemic and went ballistic. Christians of all people should stand on the truth if for no other reason than "You shall not lie" and misusing statistics is lying.
I don't deny that some youth commit suicide because of social, religious, and family pressure, and some suicide that don't want to be gay and because the information from gay activists on the net is that change is impossible don't see any other avenue of escape. Truth from "your side" could save lives.
Tolerance of homosexuals is not what brings down a culture. What brings down a culture is immorality, which starts with the heterosexual majority who then supports the normality of homosexual activity as a viable alternate lifestyle. Homosexuals have made major contributions to our culture in many areas. Michelangelo and da Vinci are probably the best-known examples. We communicate today via the Internet and the man credited with inventing the digital computer during WW II was a gay Briton. This technological breakthrough contributed to the Allies winning this war.
For the most part Christians ignored the gay political movement until Clinton was elected and then the political religious right became reactive instead of proactive to the movement.
The correlation between promotion of homosexuality as a viable alternate lifestyle and the fall of a society is that this is the final indicator of the society’s fall. Is the gay community to blame? No! But, I and other Christians have an obligation to our God to reverse the trend (if possible) by opposing gay unions and working to repeal liberal divorce laws and oppose other activities that contribute to immorality.
BTW, you are asking Christians not to impose our values on you, but aren't you asking us to allow you to impose yours on us.
