Im gay. I was fortunate enough to have "masculine" or "straight" mannerisms, in that I did not have to under go the horrible abuse that some gay kids had to go through. However, I am gay. Every sharp word to a gay kid or adult, is a sharp word to me, every time a gay person is gay bashed, I on some level feel its effect. However, I want to address a larger issue. I believe that on some level we are all connected to one another, in fact, I will go as far to say that we are intrinsically (cont)
blowjobs anal sex handjobs cumshots and yet you people think its ok to be gay does that even bother you guys one bit? oh and if your offended by this i got a few words for you GO FUCK YOURSELF
She's right about everything she said. If god loves everybody for who they are and will forgive us for our sins and the wrong we do things in life, what would it matter to him if someones gay? Were all equall no matter what.
Pastors don't have the right to say who is "worthy." Its Gods final judgement. And a fear of the Lord is having so much love and respect for Him that you don't want to do the wrong thing. He even says in the Bible that fear is not from him. Its from the devil. The fear of Him isn't an actual fear, its a respect for the creator of the universe. And we shouldn't judge, no. But its these peoples choices that have been made that have set them up to be judged by the world. They made a poor choice.
@loveeverlasting16 The bible says not to judge and you say not to but you do it with every sentene. I wish you happiness and if religion gets you that then I wish that for you. You don't sound happy though. I am happy!!! Don't be a hater life is too short.Love sister Love!!!! <3
Love ever lasting doesn't seem to be a fitting name for you. It should be love ever lasting for just the people my pastor says are worthy. People need to open their minds and not just believe what they have been told since they were born. I know it is hard because you have been taught to have great fear of God. My god is not a terrorist.I have great confidence that if God is watching you and I that he would want us to all be accepting of everyone. To not put ourselves on pedestals to judge.
Im sorry but i have to disagree. Your in a Church and the camera was aimed at Christ as if he was on your side. If you belive he was on your side on this then ill have to tell you hes not and leviticus 18:22 and Romans 1:26-27 along with many other versus prove that Christ is agains gay and lesbiab acts.I dont belive we should let gays just remain how they are because its wrong and it should not be supported.
@spify777 If you believe one sentence you have to believe it all. Do you?
Leviticus 11:2-19 and 26-31-Eating and even touching Pork, rabbit, shrimp, lobster, salmon, catfish, oysters, clams, and eel are abominations.Touching a football is an abomination
Leviticus 17:10- 14- Blood transfusions and duck blood soup (a Polish Tradition)
Leviticus 19:17-18 - WAR and all who partake and support-abomination
If you believe Leviticus 18:22 you must believe them all. From what I understand the bible can not be interpreted or changed at all. Every tit and every tattle must remain constant but do you know how many times and by how many different peoples the bible has been translated by? Are you aware of the political reasons and politicians that have made so many changes? What about all the books that have been found and not added?
The bible you speak of is one fifth of what was written. Where is the rest? Are you aware Mary Magdalene was Jesus’s wife and disciple? Question the Crusades? Don’t believe everything you are told and read. God gave you free will and the ability to reason -Use it. We are instilled with who we are in our hearts. We must make the most and do what is right for ALL mankind.
That is such an amazing speech! I live in Australia and will be doing a talk about Gay marriage :). I think You have an amazing speech with a great meaning! Love is LOve! Good Work!
I agree completely with EVERYTHING you said. I'm 13 and I really hope our generation can make a change. Because EVERYONE deserves all the rights in America....no matter their sexuality, race, religion...ANYTHING!
ur amazing ..well done
