The fact of the matter is that he was a human being and as a American citizen with rights, he should never have been harmed. But the sad reality is that religion plays a huge role in homosexual viewpoints as it does it controversial issues like abortion. There are Christian coalitions whose main purpose is to attack homosexuals in this country. I received an excellent message from a young woman. She addresses Christianity and its role in oppression against gays.
Christians become the loudest objectors screaming discrimination.
She is referring to the attack Christians make on not only gays and lesbians, but any group which is unlike themselves. They often group people together and classify. However, they think that when these people reply with such a powerful force that they are the ones doing the wrong. While communities of homosexuals exist and support is available, society portrays only the negative aspects of being gay. Luckily we have some famous figures who are respected and well-known who are openly gay.
