One could argue that these viewpoints (or other radical Christian perspectives) have been used for centuries to perpetuate hatred and acts of discrimination. In many cases, that has been far too true, and that saddens me. I hate the fact that the Bible has been incorrectly used as a means of perpetuating hatred and discrimination against homosexuals, similar to how it was used to justify the horrors of slavery. The Bible doesn’t ask me to discriminate, hate, punish or judge. The Bible asks that I treat everyone with the same love and respect I would expect to have shown to me. That—as best as I can—is what I do, whether I agree with a person or not. I hate it when someone is discriminated against because of homosexuality and I try to put a stop to it when I see it.
