Amazing how you are so conversant with the mindpulse of the gay population, yet reviling of same in your opinions.

I know of no gay persons who compare their situation in society with that of Blacks. But, then, I actually know gay and Black and gay/black people.

I guess Jesus exempted all the gay-bashers here from His exhortation to "love the sinner, yet have the sin."

The only thing I am conversant with is the rhetoric of the gay-lesbian movement. Obviously you have forgotten abou the flap over gays in the military about ten years ago, when gays compared their plight with blacks while black leaders at that time disavowed the comparison. Now, of course, money has crossed palms and no such thing is heard any more. Gay-bashing, eh. By that you mean any criticism of the life-style. Hate the sin, all right. The sin is lying, by the way, although I guess that it must be expected in such a highly politicized movement as gay-rights.

I'll send FreeRepublic $50 if you can site the verse from the Bible where Jesus said, "Love the sinner but hate the sin." As a matter of fact, did you know that God hates sinners? Psalm 5:4-5 says, "You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell. The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all who do wrong." And Ps. 50:22: "Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue you." And Ps. 53:5: "God scattered the bones of those who attacked you; you put them to shame, for God despised them." The only way that putrid sinners can stand before the wrath of the holy God is to be clothed in Jesus's righteousness. That is the plan to save sinful man that only God could conceive and execute. There are many false beliefs among those who think they are Christians today. Everyone should read their Bibles more and listen to the religious hucksters less.

"I know of no gay persons who compare their situation in society with that of Blacks.
But, then, I actually know gay and Black and gay/black people."

Maybe the strategy of hitching the gay rights movement to the legacy of the African-American
civil rights movement hasn't been picked up yet by your friends.

But prominent black preachers (conservative to liberal) have expressed their
disdain of this comparison.
(And at the same time, I suspect that gay-bashing is NOT the ir approach to the gay community)
