I am gay, and I am a Christian. I am strong in my faith...and regardless of what anyone says or does, they cannot steal God from my heart.
However, there are many in the gay community that have never heard about the love of God....they have never been inside of a church...and unless we can reach them, their blood will be on our hands.
Because of the nastiness, the hurtful rhetoric, finger pointing,name calling and judgemental attitudes..many gay people will turn a deaf ear to anything associated with religion...they will refuse to listen. When you mention religion with many gay people, the immediate connotation is not a good one. Religion is not seen as a positivie thing, nor are religious people seen as good caring people.
To borrow the words from another post...can we please show everyone the "face of Christ, and not the backhand of judgement"?
