The number of gays that are beaten or murdered by Christians in the name of Christianity pales in comparison to the number of gays that are physically abused by their own gay partners. Estimates for the percentage of gay male couples where abuse is occurring range between 10.9% (330,000 incidents) and 20% (650,000 incidents). In a sample of over 1,000 lesbians, partner abuse was found to occur in 17% of these relationships.
...so whose true colors are shining through???

Nonreligious people generally don't hate gay people as much as SOME (want to make it clear) religious people. And generally, only the majority is going to commit these kinds of hate crimes against a minority, as someone else said for the numbers, and also because there is a sense of entitlement among the majority that can lead to this kind of violence that another possibly equally anti-gay minority would not feel... although to tell you the truth, I've never heard a jew or muslim even mention homosexuality
pat, none of those people are what a psychologist would consider homosexual... just like a child molestor isn't a homosexual because 1. he doesn't consider himself homosexual and 2. he would not carry on a homosexual relationship. As a matter of fact, if they are in a relationship, child molestors tend to be with women or even married.

There are more Christians in the U S A than any other religion so the odds are that some Christians would be involved. One could make the statement that when we have a terrorist attack a bunch of Muslims are involved or pick any other religion and you could make some kind of negative statement about it . So whats your point?

A bunch of fundamentalist Christians, not typical Christians. Most Christians, like me, do find homosexuality morally wrong, but we would never beat or murder gay people. It's possible to disagree with homosexuality and still live by the Christian doctrine of "love thy neighbor."

you apparently have never been to San Fransisco, when a gay person is attacked it is ether another gay person who attacked them or some gang member or druggie (Lived in the bay area all my life so I know that for a fact). The Mathew Shepard incident one of the guys involved was a Mormon. In Iran they hang men for being gay, and most people in Iran are not Christians...
Perhaps if YOU were not so bigoted towards Christians you would see they are not all bad people. But like the "Christians" who use their faith as a weapon, your using your hate as a weapon as well...
Pity you don't realize your not helping your cause.

If they are involved then they are not true Christians. True Christians are to follow after Christ and He would never have beaten or murdered a person because they were gay.

When a Christian is murdered, is a Gay involved? Or just an Atheistic Leftest?

Haven't noticed that. But since like 87% of Americans are professing Christians it seems likely based on simple math.
