I think you are greatly mistaken.  Gays and lesbians are extremely
active
trying to make the rest of us accept their ways.  And we cannot. It is
against Judeo-Christian values.  They do not want to be left alone.
They
want to make statements by hanging homosexual obscenities in our museums
and
school hallways.  And they want us as taxpayers to pay for this. They
print
obscene and slanderous articles in their newspapers about people that
happen
to disagree with them.  They want business owners to pay for insurance
to
cover their "spouses".  They want to make our churches accept them as
they
are with no willingness to stop partaking in homosexual acts.  They want
us
to let them be our spiritual leaders, our clergy, and teach our
children.
No, I'm sorry.  You are sadly mistaken.
They want to be teachers and principals, role models for our children.
They
wish to take control of the mass media to continually bombard other
Americans
with their agenda.  They seek political office to be our governors and
our
representatives.  How can they represent Christian values?
They want to be inseminated and raise families. Their totally mixed-up
children pay the price for their selfish, politically motivated,
confused
acts. They have created  a huge division in our country by labeling
people
who disagree with them "Christian Right-wingers" and "Homophobes".
They move into conservative neighborhoods and hang "Gay-pride flags"
from
their living room windows and then react with shock when they get a rock
thrown through their windows (which I, nor any Christian person should
ever condone, but, hey, not everyone who disagrees with their ways is a
practicing Christian).
With over 10,000 lesbians already artificially inseminated and raising
children, according to Newsweek this week, I wonder what next!
The truth is, WE just want to be left alone. We want our CHILDREN to be
left
alone. We want our businesses, our lives, our taxes, and our religions
and
churches to be left alone.
But, homosexuals in this country have an agenda and they will not stop
until they are either converted to Christianity, repent, and stop
homosexual
acts (and stop aiding the homosexual agenda), or they completely
overtake
this country and change it forever.
This kind of change will open the flood gates for every kind of evil in
the
name of freedom and human rights.  But, what about the freedom of people
who do not wish to see homosexual obscenities but are forced to.  What
about our rights to have our children be taught by teachers of high
moral
standards who can serve as role models? What about our rights to
preserve
of religious traditions without having them defiled by people who try to
rise to positions of power within them for their own political motives?
No, you are very wrong.  The homosexuals in this country do not want to
be left alone. They want to open their bedroom doors to the public. It
would have been much wiser to keep them closed.
Next, I am afraid fathers guilty of incest will decide that this is
their
sexual orientation and that they also must come out of the closet and
demand
that their art be funded, that they be able to marry their daughters (or
sons), that they be able to become our priests and ministers.
As I said, we must be compassionate toward these confused people. We
must
be willing to listen and to help them.  We should welcome them into our
churches, but under our terms, not theirs! Compassionate love is not
blind
and is not afraid to correct a problem that would result in damnation.
We don't need to create any more hell for ourselves than we already have
in this country.
