With the recent 5 PUBLICIZED deaths of young people who were gay or thought to be gay, I thought it appropriate to not be quiet. What can we take from this? As a Christian, I think the Bible is definitely involved. In my experience, even those who do not consider themselves "religious" or church goers still use the Bible to support their belief that homosexuality is wrong.
I find this belief suspect. The rage behind their faces gives them away. If the issue was simply that homosexuality is wrong there wouldn't be this fear and hatred behind the words. Granted not all people have this fear, but most do (in my experience). These same people do not show rage and fear when a woman is raped or when a religious man cheats (as examples).
I'm full of rage that these young people died due to hatred. I am full of rage that people use the Bible to jusitfy bullying someone. I look forward to the day when this doesn't happen and the very thought of using the word "fag" makes us all shake with rage. Until then, keep the hate to yourself while my ass goes to PRIDE :)
