Why doesn't the Gay community mind their own life and stop blaming Christians for their unhappiness?

Question

The U.S. Constitution Fourteenth Amendment that Gays use to claim they don't have equal rights.
Gays already have all rights under that amendment.
Only the government can violate your civil liberties.
Civil liberties are rights that individuals have against government.

Gay rights aren’t like racial rights, because it’s behavior.

Answer 1

The gay community doesn't take aim at Christains or Christianity. In fact, there are many Christians and Christian churches that work in, with, and around the gay community to help meet the needs of that group of people. Many of these churches have set aside their differences about the issue of homosexuality and instead try to atleast provide what is needed in that community. Everything from just having some folks from the local churches come by and make sure they are doing okay and check on them the ill and elderly gay people in the gay community to also inviting the children of gay families to events with other children. Christians, as well as other people of other faiths, are active parts of the gay community. Thus, we are not blaming them for anything. There is the debate over equal rights and personal freedom and responsibility that is being waged between the gay community and those that wish to deny gays and lesbians equal rights and protections afforded other citizens of this nation, not to mention just the personal freedom and responsibility to choose how they live their lives. Many of the Christians and other faiths that work in the gay community have come to notice that "gays" and "lesbians" are first and foremost, human beings, just like them. That despite the labels that society may place on them, they are human beings. These human beings form relationships, have families, and participate in larger communities of greater diversity. It is not to say that these Christians that work in the gay community all have changed their mind on their Biblical beliefs, but instead have realized that they can still hold their beliefs while at the same time reaching out to human beings and meet their needs and they want to make it clear that they aren't against equal rights for all human beings or denying people their personal freedoms and responsibilities. They truly believe that all human beings should be treated equally and be granted by the government equal rights and protections and they believe that the government should never impose sanctions on people's personal freedoms so longa s they are acting responsibly and not doing harm to others. It doesn't mean that those in the gay community don't have disagreements with those Christians or others, because they do. Although, sometimes I'm amazed at the amount of understanding that comes out of such private conversations...more understanding than those debates and arguments elsewhere. The two both suddenly understand why the other feels the way they do on the various issues and they search for the right words to make it clear. Suddenly there isn't name calling or just scripture being yelled at the others. Instead, true dialogue, true conversation occurs. Such ashame it never goes beyond into the larger debate, though.

Still, the gay community does get frustrated by those in the larger Christian community who sometimes say things that not only bash gays, but also make the very Christians that we come in contact with seem like they are less than Christian. As one of my hetero friends said once "sometimes I see more of Jesus in them than I do in those who represent Christianity on television." There are some in the gay community who may have not met these Christians who work in the community. They come from so many denominations in Christianity...nor may have some in the gay community not have come in contact with people from other faiths who are also working in the community. These are the people who sometimes attack Christians and other people of other faiths without truly ever seeing the more beautiful, more loving ... more human side of those who wear such labels to describe their faith.

Whatever the troubles I have as a gay man with my partner, I don't blame Christians or Christianity. That is a term that covers a large amount of people and a wide diversity of denominations and beliefs. Nor do I do that with other religions. Whenever I am talking with someone about legal hospital visitation rights or other such issues I do not think of blaming any one religion. My beliefs in equal rights, personal liberty, and the freedom to make responsible choices about how one lives their life are all based upon my own religious beliefs and convictions. The way I treat others is reflected by my values and what I care about. I care about people and ensuring that all human beings are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve, most especially by the governments that serve them.

I am sorry if you feel that the gay community blames Christians for the troubles they have and I am sorry that tensions between so many diverse groups of people leave the other group always feeling as though they are being attacked. It is a horrible cycle that seems to find itself amongst the struggles between so many different groups of people in our world today.

May God's peace be with you.

Answer 2

Because they believe that Christians are the root of their problems instead of looking inside themselves as to what their real causes of their unhappiness. They don't want to see that their life decisions are the root of their unhappiness. That is true for everyone, not just gays. If ppl make unwise or unhealthy decisions, there is always a penalty. Unfortunately we don't see that until it is too late. True Christians don't blame gays, we take responsibilities for our own actions. I dont know any that blame gays for anything other then their (gay person's) often reckless behavior. Yes, I choose to be straight! As for the marriage thing, I dont agree with it, it violates what God has intended marriage to be. However, I do think that partners should be able to get on each others insurance and life insurance policies. There are companies that do allow this now. Home Depot allows this, or they did when I worked there. All gays have the same rights as far as I can see, the only issue being marriage. I don't think because someone is gay is a reason that special preference be given to someone. There are Christian churches for gay ppl, however I am not sure how God is taught in them and not addressed about sexual behavior. The bible is very clear on this, but I would rather see homosexuals go to church then turn away from God.

Answer 3

It's so funny. Christians get blamed for alot of things, we usually get hated on. There was a man I knew recently that never told me that he was gay but (everyone knew) (he just didn't make his life public) I really liked him. He found out I was christian and he started treating me so mean. He'd roll his eyes at my beliefs. And he'd always let me know that he was involved in a "Special Community" and he was going to "Special Conferences". God bless him. He had more of a problem with who he was than I did. No, I don't agree with homosexuality. But I would rather love him and be his friend and with the Lord help be an example for him, and be there for him. He was very unhappy. And my happiness made him angry. I still love him. I pray he finds happiness.


Now, there are some real freaks out there that call themselves christians and bash everyone gay or straight as publically as possible. I think those people need serious help.

Answer 4

The condemnation of Homosexuals got here no longer from Paul, who replaced into after all a misogynist, yet in Leviticus in the former testomony and is controversial in its software or in its authenticity because the "understand God." The earliest exiting copies of the Torah/previous testomony except the lifeless Sea Scrolls (which if totally printed would properly ruin the triumvirate of |Judeo-Christian-Islamic non secular foundation) are sixteenth Century translations, at the same time as the recent testomony as well because the former is composed of those textual content that the Roman Catholic Church has chosen to allow with a view to help their personal power base. There are numerous suppressed "gospels" that ought to turn Christianity the incorrect way up. As for sexual mores, in early Christianity, had one even said celibacy, homosexuality or different pleasures as sins you would were laughed out of any community!

Answer 5

Why doesn't the Christian community mind their own life and stop blaming the homosexuals for everything?

By the way, homosexuality is a condition of birth, not a choice. Did you choose to be straight? Ta da!

So many more socially progressive countries give gays equal rights. Canada comes to mind. But South Africa, yes, a country in AFRICA is now more socially advanced than the US for allowing gay marriage,

Answer 6

The majority of the opposition to extending basic rights (right to marraige, right to adopt) to homosexuals comes from Christian groups. Christians are the most vocal about thier anti gay beliefs and so it is not hard to see why gay people would feel a bit hostile towards Christains. But they aren't blaming all Christians. If fact about 80% of the homosexuals I know ARE Christian, which makes it doubly hard for them to accept that most of their faith thinks they are an "abomination." There are many Christians who are totally accepting of gays, though. And people like that should be more vocal so that Christianity doesn't get a bad name.

Answer 7

well honey, it is the christian community that is making some of them unhappy. christians (not all mind you, many are normal, i'm talking about the crazy militant ones) are the ones who are so into the whole marriage should be between a man and a woman deal. who the hell cares. christians are also the ones who tell them, aren't you ashamed of what you're doing? i've actually seen this happen. its not their business. gay people have a parade. that's about it. christians have a country and they're still pissed off because its not enough.

Answer 8

The Gay community doesn't Gay Bash, or preach that they themselves are evil or abominations. The Gay Community would not prohibit themselves from getting married. As far as I can see, the only reason for their unhappiness is Christianity. Maybe if you would all just be nicer, and shut the hell up about what God wants, we'd all be happier.

Answer 9

Why don't the stupid Christians mind their own business and leave gay people alone?? They aren't hurting them but they still have to go around preaching about how bad gays are! They say gays are too promiscuous but as soon as gays want to make a commitment and get married to one person the Christians say no!!!

Answer 10

Because no one is really Gay.

Honestly, i dont belieive how anyone is TRUELY GAY.
Sure.. they may feel they are gay. and have desires for the same sex.
But do they feel the same way a straight person feels.
Probably not.
And this is due to the fact humans would never evolve or be this way.. humans NEED to reproduce.. Duh.
And.. the reason why the gays want to get married is for ridiculous reasons.. such as taxes and stuff
WHO CARES!
if they want to "be married" what diffrence does it make.. it isnt like they dont have sexual acts outside marrage anyways.
Christians arent stopping jack.
it is the government.. who is smart enough to know, we need the tax money.

if you get pissed by this. I dont care.

Answer 11

im a straight guy and as far as i have see the gay community does mind their own life. A couple of my good friends are partners and they dont preach to me or blame christians for their unhappiness.

However i do see plenty of christians going out of their way to protest against them and the things they keep to themselves in the bedroom wich i think is NONE of their buisness.
