A bit of testimony- when I was 17 I had a best friend and I loved her ( not in a sexual sense but in a person to person sense) and we went everywhere together. She was not gay and neither am I. Well, because we spent so much time together my patents added two and two together and made five- we were accused of being in a lesbian relationship ( it was complicated by the fact that I was secretly seeing her brother). My patents were vile, and at one point my father beat me up and chucked me out ( it was Christmas morning). You know that damaged our relationship and it caused hatred....I can understand how gay people can become bitter. I don't condone this gay persecution of Christians thing but I would like to challenge folk to really pray about how they engage with gay people and whether there is a better way than whipping them with nettles.
