Well ok perhaps some do. No doubt about it. Some people just write gay people off and do not try 2 understand them or even witness 2 them. I do believe it is wrong for Christians 2 separate themselves from the gay community 2 the extent of not witnessing to them.
Let me ask u this if you were on a riverbank and u knew there was a huge waterfall up ahead. And u saw a child in the water heading down towards it and the child did not know the waterfall was there would u not calll out to the child "Hey no come aside! you are heading for danger" And if the child still did not listen for whatever reason would u still not try and employ whatever u needed to , to keep that child safe?
So 2 the people who feel some christians are judging well yes if they separated themselves from u and never spoke to u and listened 2 your point of view then yeah I agree. But however in reference 2 my little story this is how I feel about it....I love you that is why I call out 2 u "Hey no come aside..."

So therefore I am telling you, stop preaching hatred, bigotry, discrimination and therefore violence against LGBT people. Avoid that waterfall of hatred! "Hey, no, come aside. . . ."
God makes LGBT people exactly as they are, and God doesn't make junk. Who are you to judge and disparage any of God's gifts?

Thank you, my Dear One, I appreciate the blessing. Witnessing is fine to a point. I agree that everyone has their right to an opinion (yes, religion can be an opinion, like it or not) but you have to allow others the right to want to not listen to you. The LBGT community has been slammed so badly by other so-called Christians condemning us to Hell (that's a horrible thing to ask on anyone) that many of them just don't want to hear it any more. God and I have a fine relationship -- we just keep religion out of it. It works well for the two of us and we're both happier about it. Blessings on you as well.

Of course if one believes they're doing a true favor by witnessing to a non-Christian I can understand. BUT I've been Christian before and know how I was taught and the arrogance in the conservative Christian, Bible-believing mindset. "Concern" eventually turns into arrogant judgment, it's the nature of the "beast" (humanity). VERY few actually cry "Let me help you" though they all claim that's their motivation. Religion sometimes creates monsters that are incapable of recognizing their own monstrosity but instead impart their own ugliness to the object of their "concern".

Hey don't worry about how christians feel about gays. They are just ignorant and don't understand what gays or lesbians or ethnic or disabled people go thru. People are Human and Humans are supposed to have feelings. it's religion that has taken away peace from this world. People who have small minds are often doing this. don't let them get to you. I think all people should be respected no matter where they come from or what orientation they are. You should love your own unconditionally.

No thats false. Its the narror minded people who are stuck in their own ways that think they have the right to judge people and or change people.
A true christian knows that God says Dont judge others. No one is perfect. However the people who try to push their reglion on others and the people to tell lesbians and gays that they need to turn to god cause he will change them. Those people are a bunch of Lame @s$ people who need help. Cause that is just wrong.

I have no problems with you witnessing to homosexuals as long as the thing you are witnessing about is sin not their identities. See you see our actions as sinful when being homosexual is not an action but who we are. I appreciate any true Christian who comes to witness because Lord knows this community is poorly served in that area but what you are doing is bashing even if it is couched in soft words and biblical testimony it is still bashing because your "witnessing" is against who we are not as sinners but as our very being.
So forgive me if I am less then kind as I tell you to go away. Come back when you have learned what being Christian and being homosexual is really about.

Everyone,not just Christians, judge gay people. Straight people judge them even gay people judge other gay. It's all because of our uniqueness that makes us all diversified in our thoughts towards each other. Personally speaking, my hands are wide open to gay people as I am a femme myself and even when I used to be straight, I still have as open arms coz we are all EQUAL and one's sin/choice should NOT burden others. As Plato puts it, JUSTICE IS MINDING YOUR OWN BUSINESS.!

As an ex-christian, and follower of the Tao, and a lesbian I call to you, hey, no, come aside, you are heading for danger. Follow your bliss, make your peace, learn your lessons and let lesbians and gays follow their bliss and make their way down their own path whatever that may be.

I believe alot of the Christians like to say the gays are going to hell,so nobody will point the finger at them for murder, they killed you if you didn't believe them ,back in the day..for molesting children, for beating their wives(they must submit)for screwing around on their spouses(big names made headlines) and for judging, it's not up to them, it's up to God...Get with God...He loves all His sheep..and now there are gay people that get together and witness to each other...I love God and Gay!

Frankly, I'm not here to attend a Church service.
I don't answer questions and try to give advice in your Church, You don't witness to me and tell me about a religion that I walked away from 25 years ago.
As soon as you can respect that we might be able to see eye to eye on other subjects.
