This jaw-dropping revelation is based on the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions latest assessment of the homosexual lifestyle. The WSJ report further warns: Gay and bisexual men represent an estimated 2 percent of the U.S. population but more than half of all people living with HIV and 66 percent of new HIV infections. They are the only population group in the United States for which HIV infections are rising.
What do you say of an adult or adults who, for selfish political reasons, encourage sexually confused children to adopt a sex-centric identity and lifestyle laced with a 50-50 chance of HIV infection? Id say theyre guilty of child abuse. Adults are supposed to protect children from touching the red-hot stove, not push their face down on it.
This is true hate.
Scripture admonishes, The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Unnatural behaviors beget natural consequences. It is hateful to promote a sin-centered lifestyle to children, to anyone for that matter, which leads to disease, death and, unless repented of, eternal separation from God.
It bears repeating: [H]alf of all gay and bisexual men will be HIV-positive by age 50.
The wages of sin is death.
Yet in todays upside-down world it is we who are disingenuously accused of hate those of us who remain compassionate and bold enough to warn our fellow fallen human beings of the spiritual, emotional and, yes, even the physical death that comes as a natural consequence of unnatural behaviors. A toxic cloud of political correctness distorts reality, choking off any honest appraisal of these self-destructive sexual behaviors. We truly live in a dark age that calls evil good and good evil.
Homosexual conduct is always sin. It always has been. It always will be. It is never good, healthy, normal or natural.
The wages of sin is death.
Im honored to say that Im one of those haters called by God to sound the alarm. While folks do send me positive and encouraging notes on a regular basis, I likewise receive a steady stream of hate mail chiefly when I write (or speak) on the issues of marriage, Gods moral law and His natural order for human sexuality.
While the positive correspondence is always heartening, it is, believe it or not, the nasty stuff the uglier the better that especially lifts my spirits. Christs promises are true: Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake (Matthew 5:11).
When God calls you to be an instrument of His truth, the biblical harmonies you play will often strike sour with those in rebellion against Him, sending them into blind rage and deep denial. This is a spiritual battle old as time itself. It is between good and evil. It is sublimely humbling to be used of God in this way. All we, all you, as faithful Christians can do is to speak truth in love and pray that those truths plant a seed that bears fruit in the hardened hearts of lost souls.
I have seen this happen many times.
One example occurred in October of 2009. I was keynoting a fundraiser for the pro-family group Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) in suburban Chicago.
Outside the event, and watched closely by police, was a mob of angry LGBT protesters. A young woman who claimed to be with the press was present at the banquet. It was quickly discovered that she was actually with the mob outside and had somehow managed to sneak in. Rather than kick her out, Peter LaBarbera, founder of Americans for Truth, asked her to stay and join us for the banquet. He requested only that she put away her video camera, which she did.
This young woman, who identified as a lesbian, sat at a table with some of the most loving and godly women I know. They showed her the love of Christ. Among them was Sandy Rios, my dear friend, Fox News contributor and AFR talk radio host.
After I gave my remarks, this young lady well call her Marie to protect her from being hanged for high treason by the equality crowd rushed over to me with tears in her eyes. They lied! she exclaimed of the protest organizers outside. You dont hate us. You dont hate me. You really do care. And youre funny! she added of some of the humor I typically, though not always successfully, weave into my writing and speaking.
Ill admit it, she continued. What you said was hard to hear. But they lied to me. You dont hate anyone.
A number of us then prayed for this priceless daughter of God the Father. She stayed around and visited with us until well after the event ended. Sandy Rios and I then walked her out, where we were greeted with scowls and profanity-laden taunts by the activists outside.
What are you doing with them! demanded one of the protesters of our new friend. To even my surprise, she ignored them, reached over and gave me a big hug.
She saw that we loved her. She saw that Christ, in us, loved her. He died for our sins, her sins, and for the sins of each of her fellow protesters.
We learned that her friends, her ride home, had abandoned her and, as I recall, Sandy drove her home that night, continuing to minister to her along the way and for some time thereafter.
Yes, they lied. We dont hate you.
This is the true face of the vast majority of so-called anti-gay Christians. This story is but a microcosm for the larger movement.
It is truth.
And it is love.
But sadly, truth is hate to those who hate truth.
To you homosexual activists, I say this: We will not be daunted. We will not be intimidated. We will never quit.
We do this in obedience to the Holy Spirit.
Like He did before us, we are going to love you.
But, as did He, we are also going to tell you the truth.
And were going to do it whether you like it or not.
Beating up isn’t a good thing.
I’m trying to stay honest in my writing and move on.
The writing of amends is to heal me.
Years ago when Charles Colson was “born again” and decided to follow Jesus, he wrote many such letters from prison.
OK, I’m as straight as an arrow and I always put the little plastic clip back on the bread. Food is too damned expensive these days to waste and I refuse to eat stale or moldy bread. :^)
Thank you for bringing up Charles Colson. He said one of the best things I’ve ever heard about Christianity:
I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren’t true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world-and they couldn’t keep a lie for three weeks. You’re telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible.

What makes a young girl believe that she has any idea of what it feels like to be a boy or vice-versa?
Probably her school has told her that certain feelings are “girl” feelings and others are “boy” feelings.
I'd be lying if I said I have anything but contempt for the great majority of practicing queers. This woman in the story is very unusual. The rest deserve the contempt.
If some Christians want to take it on themselves to convert hardcore militant homosexuals, fine. Your success will be limited. Most of them are going to end up in the afterlife exactly where they want to end up (which is as far as possible from God).
“To declare - as a man: “I feel like a woman”, is non-nonsensical in that I don’t know what a woman feels like.”

Long ago and far away there was a “Mike Douglas show” on TV. On one show he had a guest, Jerry Vale maybe IIRC, who told a little “catholic joke” about two nuns who decided to “kick over the traces” and go out for a night on the town. They came back rather intoxicated and as they were sneaking through the fence to get back to the nunnery one turned to the other and said, “I feel like a Marine.” The other nun looked at her and replied, “Don”t be ridiculous, where are we going to find two Marines at this time of night.”
It really was an inspiring piece. It makes me want to try harder to impart the peace of Christ to others who are hurting and blinded by their harmful ways.
If you could get a transcript of his speech I would dearly love to read it. Thank-you for this post, which in some way I will try to emulate the love and clear-sightedness that was imparted.
God Bless you and yours, Kaslin.
Joke for after Sunday dinner. Thank-you! Although, I might change it to SEALs. I admire Cade Courtley of Surviving Disaster greatly.
No, but I’m not all that crazy about the disease-ridden, boy-raping whackjobs.
It's always their choice. ALWAYS.

The woman I overheard, was admitting it was a choice. How many will admit it? One in 50 or 100? Less than that?
But goody for us...we can pay $(fill in the number) to keep these poofs alive!
Great article, thanks for posting this.
Are you suggesting that fat people have to be homosexual? That’s a bit weird.
Yup. Well said.
My daughter told me a kid in her high school, a girl, now ids as a boy
...I identify myself as Tom Brady...think the Pats will pay me millions of bucks...?
