OLD PREJUDICES DIE HARD

OLD PREJUDICES DIE HARD 

The leadership of the Christian Church proclaims the Christian lifestyle is under attack. They blame this attack on LGBT communities.

There are no facts that prove same-sex couples have stood in the doorways of any churches in an attempt to prevent Christians from entering. However, there are many facts that prove signs saying, “SAMES-SEX COUPLES NOT ALLOWED” have been placed on the doors of churches all across America.

There are no reports of gays forming a blockade on a freeway on Sunday morning in an attempt to prevent Christians from attending the church of their choice. However, there is an established policy within the LGBT communities to encourage people to attend church. 

There are no media records of straight couples being denied the right to attend a gay church. Yet, on many occasions gay couples have been publicly asked to leave straight churches.

There is no information to confirm that straight families have been denied the right to buy a home in a gay community.  Yet, newspapers in the last decade have been filled with reports of gay families being denied the right to purchase a home in a straight community.

There are no newspaper reports of gay men standing outside a church on Sunday morning with baseball bats attempting to beat up Christians. Yet, I have heard with my own ears preachers encouraging young athletes to use baseball bats on fags in the gay communities.

LGBT organizations do not attempt to pass laws that force any lifestyle on the mass population.  Yet, many times Christians have used public forums to pass laws enforcing Christian ideologies on all citizens.

There are no records of any LGBT individual making the statement, “it’s too bad they didn’t kill more,” when a mass shooting of Christians occurred. However, numerous Christians have made similar statements every time there has been a mass shooting of LGBT individuals.

There is a great amount of misinformation that circulates within the Christian communities. There are no facts to prove that LGBT individuals are responsible for the rapid decline in Christian church memberships.  Christians are victims of their own devices and have found childish ways to blame others. If success is recorded by numbers Christians have failed in worldwide memberships in the last five decades.  

The Christian lifestyle is filled with too many, “Thou Shall Not’s” which places too much emphasis upon negatives rather than on positives. Proclaiming hate is not advantageous for the Christian cause.  Advocating discrimination is not exactly a glowing characteristic to describe the life of Jesus. Holding on to prejudices is never good for any social advancement.

When LGBT individuals are not under pressure from religious organization they are some of the happiest people in the world. They accept each other, get along with each other, live with each other, support each other, and celebrate life with each other.

These facts are evident in a changing world because every day more LGBT individuals are stepping out of the closet and into the pleasure of a free lifestyle. Even in the deep Southern Christian Bible Belt of the USA attitudes are changing. Recent public opinion polls prove that two-thirds majority of Americans are ready to accept LGBT individuals. It is sad to say that it is the preachers and the politicians who are fanning the flames of hate. In the progressive nations of the world more and more LGBT individuals are being elected to public offices, and unlike many of their counterparts, they are serving their constituents well.  

As an active member of a LGBT community I would like to make it perfectly clear we have no fight with the Christian Church.  The records show we are a peace loving people.  Our motto is, if the gay lifestyle is not suitable for you, just don’t participate.  We do not attempt to force our way of life upon anyone. We have made peace with our MAKER, and we are happy with our lifestyle. Therefore, if we do not judge, we see no reason to be judged.
