I hope this reaches every single person who believes that just because we don't agree with the homosexual lifestyle, we're hateful bigots who want to see all gay people die.
Here's a fact: a majority of us are good people, who hate the lifestyle with the passion of a thousand blazing suns, but love the people who participate in the gay lifestyle. I am one of those people.
Little known fact: I used to have three friends who were gay. They were good people, and I respected them because they were good people. They knew that I didn't like their lifestyle and (unlike militant gays) they respected my belief and loved me as a friend and as a fellow human being.
Sadly, there are people who call themselves Christians, but who are not really what they say they are. Take, for example, the members of the Westboro cult. They claim to be Christians, but they are not.
Why?
Because they have blatantly ignored Jesus Christ's teachings about love and fellowship. They are only paying attention to the Scriptures that they feel will help their cause. They are not interested in helping to save souls. They are only interested in spreading their hate and bigotry.
Again: I am not one of those people, and I am tired of being accused of being like Fred Phelps and his band of misguided fools who apparently have nothing better to do than to torment those who disagree with them.
Now, pay attention, folks. What is the point of this post?
Say it with me, now.
"WE DO NOT HATE GAY PEOPLE!! WE JUST HATE THE LIFESTYLE!! WE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO ACCEPT THE GAY LIFESTYLE!! STOP ASSUMING THAT WE HATE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE GAY!! IF YOU WANT US TO TREAT YOU WITH RESPECT, TRY TREATING US WITH RESPECT AS WELL!! RESPECT IS NOT A ONE-WAY STREET!!"
Here endeth the lesson.
