How do you feel about gay people?

Love is Love

I may surprise you with the some of the statements I am about to make, but I feel there is an injustice in the way gay people are viewed in our society.  There are protestors at military funerals, gay hate crimes, and they are treated like second class citizens in many ways.  Whatever the reason a person chooses to be gay doesn’t matter; however, it does matter that others respect that choice.  Should a Christian accept a gay person?  What would Jesus do?  Let’s review who Jesus ministered to when he was alive.  It was the leapers, Samaritans, and other people considered low in society’s view at the time, in fact Jesus was at odds with the leaders of the Jewish society.  Is this not a lesson in tolerance and example for us to follow?  Furthermore, who is to judge others?  Those that take the opportunity to disrespect gay people illustrate their own insecurity and closed mindedness.  I may not understand why people are gay, but I will not fall into the pit of judgment and show disrespect.  Be kind to others and you will reap what you sow…
