I am a homosexual. I am a Christian.
I have been mocked, degraded, and dismissed far more often and with much greater vehemence and regularity for being the latter by atheists and Pagans, than I ever have for being the former by Christians, and homophobes. The Far Left really annoys me sometimes. All their talk about tolerance is just so much bullshit. They think they're so much better and more compassionate than the Far Right. They don't realize that they do the exact same thing all the time. It is possible to have a different opinion from someone and still show them respect.

Truer words were never spoken. The Left doesn't want to look any further into Christianity than the loud-mouthed Moral Right majority currently spewing hate everywhere, and therefore they miss out on the basic tenets of Christianity that make it a beautiful religion like any other.
I identify as bisexual and Christian, and while I have my problems with the church, I don't condemn Christianity wholesale because of it. It's sad that so many people do, particularly in the generation behind mine (I'm 35).
