I get that Filo. I was anti-gay for a long time. Then I reunited with a dear friend who informed me he was married.....to a man! They have adopted three special needs kids, two of whom wont live past their early 20’s. These kids were institutionalized. No heterosexuals would adopt them. Two are wheelchair bound for life. They now live in a home with pets and activities and loving parents who can afford the extra care they need. Institution vs. Home??
I am Christian. I am conservative. This is a battle that is personal to me and I refuse to throw my friend under the bus simply because many of my conservative friends will label me liberal. His family deserves benefits. I wont force my Christian vlaues upon him or anyone else.
I can certainly disagree with gay marriage without forcing that opinion onto another human who does not. Christ is my judge and theirs. He loves them...period. You all would do well to remember that when you preach your faith while calling them names such as “faggot.” What I will not do, however, is accept judicial activism from judges ruling against the will of the people. They spoke in California twice.
So far Filo and Millers Cave have been banned in the last hour or so. Promoters of homosexual marriage are not welcome on FR, nor are those who want sexual perverts in the military.
I love homosexuals because they are souls who are in reality children of God. I hate what they do and promote. Loving someone doesn’t mean you have to approve of or agree with their actions and beliefs. And when those actions and beliefs are unnatural, unhealthy and immoral, it is stupid and destructive to affirm destructive behavior and agendas in the name of “love”.
Tough Love is what is needed, not confused sentiment which only helps keep people headed off the cliff. If I loved a drug addict would it be loving to encourage him to keep up his habit, or to encourage him to get clean?
If someone really loves homosexuals, he or she will encourage them to seek help. There are many organizations both secular and of faith that help homosexuals get out of the destructive “gay” life. That’s real love. Not helping keep people in the lie that they are born homosexual and they cannot change.
