Christians are trying to spread God's word but yet homosexuals are always trying to stifle our free speech! Why is it ok for them to flaunt their lifestyle hating us but we are suppose to accept them? I just don't get it!

What about the trespasses homosexuals do to Christians? I'm sorry but the whole "I'm gay so you have to accept me" won't persuade me to think differently. We have as much right (if not more) to be here as homosexuals.

BTW, that e-mail has been circulating since 1999, can you gays come up with something original, really.

Many homosexuals hate Christians because many Christians use the Bible to preach against homosexuals. I suppose they tire of hearing Christians tell them being homosexual is a sinful choice. (I am a Christian, BTW, and I don't hate homosexuals.) I know there are places in the Bible that are often used to explain why homosexuality is a sin, but I also know that Jesus preached love and tolerance...not hate, bigotry, and homophobia.
It's all in the interpretation and the tone...if you use God's word to fuel prejudice and hate, then you deserve the wrath of the other person(s). If you use it to spread a message of peace, hope, and tolerance, then you are doing a great service to all.
It is NOT ok for anyone to flaunt their lifestyle in a hateful way, homosexual or otherwise.

I am sure the amont of things you do not get will fill volumes. But as you have asked a question I will answer you I love all as my God tells me too. I am however not feeling the love from you today so purhaps your judgment of us is a bit too harsh.
Why should we reinvent the wheel the email that has circulated since the late 90s is effective and true does the fact that it is old invalidate that truth if that is the case then you are not saying a lot about the bible which I do believe came out some time before the 1990's

First of all, despite the fact that I'm fairly sure that you don't "get it" because you're not trying to, I'll spell it out for you. A very loud minority of Christians fling all kinds of nasty things about gay people all over the place, creating and keeping alive rumors proven to be untrue (most child molesters are straight men; I don't want straight men teaching MY child). That's bad, but bearable. They then take their interpretation of a religious scripture and attempt to write it into law. In America. THAT is unacceptable. So, some people just hate those loud minority back. Some even get jumpy when they hear "Christian" because they've been burned; I'd say they have fair right to get defensive. Most just try to make the majority realize how ridiculous the whole thing is. And...they're being successful in doing so.
I'll end by saying that I don't want you to accept me. I want you to ignore me. As for "flaunting a lifestyle", when you stop wearing wedding rings, using the title "Mrs", and give up all your other heterosexual privelidge, I'll stop holding my boyfriend's hand in public. You're at least as guilty of flaunting your lifestyle as I am.
As for stifiling your free speech, if you're not making a threat, and you're not crossing the line into harassment, I personally don't care. There are some places where no types of comments are appropriate (such as the workplace), and in day to day life, I would say that it's rather base behavior to use certain words, and all around bad form, but I'm not trying to make a law against it. You're allowed to call me names, I'm allowed to call you names, but that really doesn't get us anywhere. You're not my family, and you clearly have no love for me; I don't want your acceptance.

The fraction of homosexuals who hate Christians mostly hate Christians because Christians are not only trying to stifle their speech, but their entire lives! The trespasses of Christians against homosexuals far outnumber the number of trespasses of homosexuals against Christians. Thus, the hatred.

Because when we take the "Oath of Homosexuality," in a very secret ceremony that no straight person may ever witness, we swear on a stack of pink panties that we will from that day forth be the minions of Satan and will fight against and hate Christianity for the duration of our homosexually shortened lives.
Not really.
If you don't have enough human empathy to understand why a lot of homosexuals don't like a lot of Christians, then you are probably a criminal or future criminal.
Christians rarely spread God's word. Christians are usually using their religion and sacred book as a weapon. They are usually so busy explaining, with bible verses to prove it, what OTHER people are doing to be sent to hell.
If Christians would actually follow the teachings of Christ, they would probably find less hatred for them. If Christians would focus on what Christians should be doing to get to heaven, instead of what others are doing to get to hell, they would find most of the world would find them less objectionable
It is a sign of pure evil to have no human empathy.
In short, this fight continues because Christians aren't turning the other cheek.

As a Gay Christian I find as I evanglize in the gay community most homosexuals are tired of being beat up with the bible. Many have tried to be and live the way "The Christians say they must live to be saved" and have failed and hurt themselves and others in the process.
As a Gay Christian who is in relationship with God and Christ they have told me first hand in prayer that I am ok, saved and exactly who they made me to be.
I know this goes against everything you have been taught may i recomend (if you are of an open mind) visit www.jesus.com and read about the bible and homosexuality.

Oh dear! Not all homosexuals hate Christians - and not all Christians at that. Why be so provocative? Besides as a defender of free speech, You must admit that they are equally entitled to espouse their view.
Whilst against your interpretation of Sacred Law, homosexuality is not illegal in (and correct me if I am wrong) the English speaking world, so while you don't like or agree with it - I'm afraid you have to get over it and accept us GLBTQs as people with different, but equally valid, lifestyles.
Incidentally, ever thought about nailing your colours to the mast and changing your moniker to "TheBurningBushSavesLives"?
God Bless!

How can a small group of people supposedly10% of society influence anyone. No, what I think is christians, which I am by the way and gay, need to deal with their own private lives instead of trying to push their beliefs on others. Most of my coworkers don't know I am gay so I hear the gay bashing all the time. But then they have the worst family problems inside their families. Focus on yourself. Leave us alone to live our lives!!

I don't hate Christians. I also don't agree with either side often times. One thing I noticed about both groups; many tend to push their beliefs on each other. When I am told that I am wrong, a 'sin against God', and/or unnatural, often times I'll say, "too bad; my life, not yours." However, many of 'my kind' (homosexuals) continue to push their beliefs ("You should accept us because we're people") but that's not to say you guys don't do the same, by putting us down and trying to refuse us rights we deserve just as much as you do.
There is only one thing I wish for you to understand, and this one thing I repeat often, as I have already said: It's our life, not yours. You should not force your morals unto us; but we should not force our own morals upon you. This goes into the whole equal rights issue.

I tend to get angry when someone who doesn't know anything about me tells me I'm going to burn for eternity because I am in a committed marriage with another woman. I am not here to force my opinion on you I am here to live my life the way I see fit. According to the Constitution, yes, you have freedom of religion, but you also seem to forget I have freedom from your religion. You can believe anything you want. I will never argue against your right to do that. What you do not have a right to do is force that religion on someone who does not embrace it. You don't have to accept my lifestyle but you do have to accept the fact that not everyone believes the same things as you do.
