Wow! C'mon and tell us what you REALLY think ;) But I agree with you, actually. You're telling it like it is. However, while those are indeed the "un-pretty" and certainly politically incorrect truths, I think that bullying, violence, etc., are certainly not the way to deal with gays and lesbians. Their lifestyle, unquestionably, is not accepted by God nor by Christians. But then what about us "loving the unlovely." We don't need to accept their lifestyle -- but blasting them with stones or words will neither "fix" them or set a good example.

How does someone with a 16 y.o. brain and mental makeup already know they are a homosexual?
What do her parents think? What do her parents tell her? That they condone this lifestyle choice made by a SIXTEEN y.o.? Did she decide she was a lesbian when she was what, 14? 15? How would she know?
Man...this is sad.

There were no "stones" in my post. That was your assumption. I merely called unrepentant homosexuals what they are--children of the devil, the walking dead. It does them no service, no kindness, to "agree to disagree." The New Testament is much more direct on the matter of sin. In our age, we practice a watered-down, seeker-friendly "Christianity" that doesn't bother to call sin what it is--sin! This little reprobate from Georgia would do well to listen to the "boos" that were directed her way. If there weren't so many effeminate Christians with false mercy holding out a hand to her, she just might have been convicted of her sin and repent.

"I think that bullying, violence, etc., are certainly not the way to deal with gays and lesbians." I'm not sure I would consider the booing, bullying. Social pressure, particularly from peers, has always been a most effective way of enforcing acceptable behavior in a culture. The idea behind it is to restore the one who is wayward to the fold. I think it is a natural thing, and not altogether bad, although it certainly can be used wrongly.
