No such thing as a Christian that would accept homosexuality as normal.
... oh, wait, this isn't the global warming thread?
“”Bigotry…and exclusion are not faith-based family values,”
Frankly, neither is homosexuality.
I've been all around that place many times.
It's inevitable when you play Costa Mesa GC. :-)
Nail, head.
