@Gallifreyan Cuber, so you're telling me as a Christian you love the people who bombed our country a couple years back? In the bible it states we should pray for gays to be cleansed of their sin. A true Christian knows that it is not want god wants. I'm sick of people like you who think it's right to be fine with it as opposed to it

@Babyb, The bible says judge not, that you may not be judged; forgive, that you may be forgiven. If you judge others, you shall be judged accordingly, and if you refuse to forgive others, you shall not be forgiven. Please turn your phone off, throw it and your computer out, and never leave your house again, because the last thing good Christians like me need is people like you giving hatera ammo by being a complete failure of a person.

@Gallifreyan Cuber, show people the error of their ways but dont do it by being a spiteful a$$hole, im a Christian and I dont treat gays any different from drug addicts, or people who get drunk and sleep around. The point is all sin is equal in God's eyes and if you've ever so much as lied you cant condemn anyone else for their sin. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

@Gallifreyan Cuber, this is pointed at Christians who hate gays not Christians who accept people. Though if you accept people you wouldn't call yourself a "true" Christian just a Christian but still. Atheists and non Christians don't assume every Christian hates gay people we just make fun of the ones that do. That is like if someone made a comic making fun of murderers and, you said I'm so sick and tired of this assumed murdering sprees or something.

I know this seems like a self-serving rant for a wannabe social activist, but I truly I want to encourage all of you who support the cause to participate in the GLSEN's Day of Silence to fight bullying regarding actual or perceived sexual preference, identity, or expression. It is an amazingly powerful event in the years I have done it. Please do some research into it and decide if it's for you; and if it is, indicate that Gabby Hubert is the Street Team member who sent you there. Sorry for the long post.

@ConsultingTimeLord, I dontt believe in "bullying" the way most people do. They see it as a one-man operation. A guy says something mean to you, BAM! Yourer bullied! But I see it as a two-man operation, an inside job. A guy day something mean to you, an insult, a mean action, those are just the set-up. The "bullying" doesn't hapoen until you choose to let it affect you. I've been harrased, insulted, rejected, you name it. But I've never been bullied, becauee I never let myself be bullied. I informed someone in charge of what was going on and that was the end of it. And I don't consider myself some Superman, I feel that this basic ability to not be bullied is required of anyone who can reasonably be called a "human being".

@CaptainSwordsman, For some forms of bullying, I agree with you wholeheartedly. But when it concerns something so controversial and the slander is coming from all sorts of mediums, it's a different story. A friend of mine killed himself after being bullied for his sexuality at a new school. My grandfather internalized the abuse so deeply, he got married and had a child. My mother was 8 when he realized he couldn't deny himself any longer and ran away. He severed all ties, assuming that they would want no part of him once they knew the truth. For two weeks they had no idea where he was. My grandfather is a strong man, and so was the friend I spoke of. I don't appreciate you insinuating they they're weak or even inhuman because they succumbed to constant and thoughtless harassment. I wouldn't endorse this event if I didn't think it had a very real impact as a gesture of support.

@ConsultingTimeLord, I guess tjus didn't post the first time. Basically the short version is thag I might not just "shrug it off", I might fight against it, but not because it affects me. I've been "bullied" by family members and adults too, not just peers. The other point is, it's not my fault your friend killed himself. There are a lot of other things he could've done. Those "bullies" didn't kill him, he did. Same thing wirh your grandfather's story. That being said I would lile to offer my condolences for the loss of your friend and family. Your friend's death was tragic and not a good thing, and I dontr see your friend or anyone like him as a bad person, and while I stand by everything else I said, I do concede that it was overboard to call people like him subhuman.
I am pretty sick and tired of hearing this sort of assumed hatred towards gays. While I'm aware that many hate them, I'm christian and any true christian would tell you that we don't hate gays. After all, we're supposed to love everyone, not just everyone except for homosexuals.
