I have heard that some in the gay community are attacking Christian's and old woman and men coming out of the church's. I don't agree with this, at all. Most christians who know the bible and why Jesus came into the world, are not against gay people. Jesus died for you to have life in His kingdom, just like everyone of us who sin, which is all of us. Now that I said that, it isn't the only problem here. The gays want to protest this vote and people are complaining its not the right time. Well in my picture it talks about, in the Flint Journal, Nov. 5, how a rogue baptist church, because the majority of baptist might know, protested a play that was taking place soon, that was about a true story of a gay person who was killed in a hate crime and the only thing he did to deserve this action was he/she was gay. 2 issues here. Gays are being attacked because they're gay and a church protesting a play that is about the attack. 1st issue, the reason for people attacking gay's and the reason they feel that the death of the gay man was "God's punishment for America's tolerance of homosexuality", this is sick and needs no comment. This kind of hate is disgusting and God throughout his whole WORD CONTRADICTS THIS. GOD IS LOVE, NOT HATE, AND HE SEE'S ALL AS SINNERS, AND SENT HIS SON, TO SAVE US ALL, FROM SIN. THANK YOU, LORD.
Again, to all the gay community, it's not all Christian's that believe you are in the wrong! I am a Christian, who studies, Islam and Judiasm. Not as much as christianity but I know some of Islam and most of Judiaism. I think the attack's on any one is wrong, but with the 2nd issue, the one of protest. These protesters go after the gays, and the dead American soldiers, that come back from Iraq. They have no morals, to do this. Yet, they do. Now people are complaining that the gays want to protest, to show us how many people are against the proposal 8, not harming anyone, just protesting by removing themselves from society. If the rogue Christians and people can protest at our dead soldiers funeral's, I feel then they(gays) have a right to protest. The gay community is large. Most people know gay people, (Dick Cheney's Daughter for 1) and we want them to have the right's all of us have. Without protests, we (women) wouldn't have the right to vote, black people wouldn't be free. (people protesting the drinking fountains and bus rides). We as Americans should be obligated, to honor the people who have behaved in a civil disobedience action, who suffered for us to give us the freedom's they fought for. So I say Dec. 10th, no gay day, would honor the people of the past who fought the same fight. This is not violence. What violence is, is these attacks on both sides of the issue of the proposal 8, and why it's happening is ignorance of the subject. The gays hear far right christians, and the other hears gays are destroying marriage and the whole society. But truly we have a voting record and a lot of christians don't vote. They feel disloyal voting for a man, and want to follow God's laws not mans. The majority of people who vote are the men, as usual, ages between 18 and 40, who are to blame for the vote. Should we as gays or women go beating and killing all straight men for voting this way, and how could we tell if they were straight and gay. It could force the straight men to go into the closet, just to protect their lives. LOL But seriously, the main voter is the man, not the christian. You (the gays) have blamed the wrong culprit. But I don't blame you for that when you have these rogue church's,usually run by a straight man, rule the masses of their church into these dispicable acts that are making a normal American Christian look like evil incarnate. I again am a 2 times baptized christian. (The one time the church of my husbands wouldn't except it as a baptism. lol. I only did it to marry in the church. Not that I believed it was necessary). I am also an American Voter, who if it had been voted in my area of Michigan, would of voted against this bill. It is illegal to suppress any group. Even this rogue baptist church who is protesting alot and at all times around our country. I hope the attacks against the Christians stop. I hope the attacks on gays stop, and I hope the suppression of gays is stopped.
