Telling gays and lesbians they're going to rot in hell for the way they live their lives is just nonsensical. If people can understand that I appreciate them for who they are rather than what they define themselves as, I have succeeded in making my point.

Jerry Falwell could learn a thing or two from you.
Seriously, there need to be more of the Christians with your track of thought about homosexuals. It is sad when some of them outright wish for the gays to go to hell like people like Jerry Falwell and those fundamentalists do. I wonder what Christ would have to say about that?
