You are among great company and as a gay man I can never thank you and yours enough for your honesty and friendship. I am proud to have allies in you and your fellow Christians. Thank you so very much.<br /><br />More importantly April, you have spoken out by posting a supportive comment here. Without the majority of Christians, those who share YOUR Christian values, speaking out and standing for equality, we can never win the battle against this terrible evil in our wonderful country.<br /><br />I wish and pray for your and our continued courage and strength to simply say "NO" to these sad sad people and to speak out for the truth in every way we can. <br /><br />With the publication above and the wonderful work of many others, we can overcome our own inability to Speak To The Lies With Truth and stand strong, together, as a loving and respectful family, brothers and sisters in true equality.<br /><br />Blessed Be.Fumble Bumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903704148332776377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-65712254074966216692013-01-12T09:21:50.022-08:002013-01-12T09:21:50.022-08:00Hi everyone.

I am saddened by what some people are doing to dehumanize the LGBT community. I am not sure how many Christians will take this booklet seriously, but I wish they will come to understand the hurt and pain they are causing. We are not called to hurt and cause pain. We are not supposed to judge people outside the church (1 Cor 5:12). Please know that there are some of us, even in non-affirming churches, that love and care about the LGBT community. There are people like Andrew Marin in Chicago who are working to make it better.

He is a dinosaur when it comes to LGBT equality. I sent the following message to him via his government web page: "Now that you have lost the marriage equality issue in Maryland, Let's work on the separation of church and state.": http://holybulliesandheadlessmonsters.blogspot.com/2013/01/how-they-see-us-unmasking-religious.html#.UPGUnlm9KQg.facebookMykelbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33855769.post-31633735756938052062013-01-09T14:29:59.906-08:002013-01-09T14:29:59.906-08:00Its terrible... it feels like an all out war just ...Its terrible... it feels like an all out war just because ignorant people don't think we should be here.

I'm dyslexic. I have software that can read the text out loud for me, but some of it seems to be images of text which is useless to me, and others seem to be text laid out too close to images. The software works by selecting the text and being so close to the images I can't get it to select the words. Instead it tries to drag the image. <br /><br />I really would like to read it to know what the peace says.
