I'm Episcopalian. A while ago, we ordained a gay bishop, and there was a big brua-ha-ha about that. I recently discovored that there's a huge protest group, organized under the name 'God hates fags.' What's that point of that? For real, all they're doing is proving that they're closeminded and foul-mouthed, so why would anyone want to support them? And what about people like me, who just shudder at that name? Obviously, I'm not against homosexuality in any way, but if I were on the fence, that name would make me run away from them, not join them. If the people organizing it (and it is an organized thing, they have a web site with a google rating of six, which I'm not going to put a link to because I don't want them to get any publicity off this post.) were truely Christian and they beleived that homosexuality was a sin, they should be 'loving the sinner, hating the sin.' Maybe it's just me, but using such a derrogatory name on a group of people doesn't seem like loving them. It seems like hating a group of people for something they can't change. What's the difference between that and racism? I just don't get it. Why is it that people with closed minds always have open mouths?
