In a public discussion, the person talking about sex on a Saturday night is the norm. The person talking about church on Sunday morning is a freak. The Christians in this country that are trying to return it to a more moral path are demonized, while the others are held up to the status of 'victims' of society. It's true - we are weak as far as speaking out. However, some of us that believe there is a kinder way of getting that truth out, are also demonized. Look at some of the responses I've had on this thread. Either I act out my beliefs as they think I should, or I'm tagged a non-believer and rejectionist of Christianity. Sometimes I'm not proud to be thought of as part of that group of 'Christians'. Maybe that's what has scared some people into not speaking out.
This whole discussion may be moot. We don't even know what her girlfriend looks like...
(it's a joke, a joke)
One problem with internet thread discussions is that most of us I'm sure, don't know each other personally. Hence certain assumptions are made--that when people don't approach a subject like I would, they must be a mushy headed liberal--or on an issue like this--a non-Christian secular humanist type...for example.
That's the nature of the medium I'm afraid, which is why heated discussions here really should be avoided, in my opinion.
How to treat an "outed" homosexual is a difficult subject I think--especially for Christians who are called to love the sinner while still hating the sin. Also since the homosexual lobby is so active, bitter and in your face, its easy to have the same attitude back toward all homosexuals....when most homosexual individuals I've known were mild, deeply troubled and confused individuals.
