It's nice to see someone using Christianity to support LGBTQ people instead of cutting them down. It doesn't happen enough, especially for a religion founded by a man who challenged almost every social norm of his day.

Fantastic. I am a Christian (Baptist in fact..) who has only within the past year and a half come out of the closet as gay. Though i have been fortunate enough to not have any terribly negative experiences, and family and friends inside and outside the Church that support me, it is still so encouraging to hear a straight Christian voice say what you say sans pat answers and excuses but rather with conviction. Thank you.

So, I'm an atheist of the impatient variety. I have little time for religion, especially when religious people try to force me to live by the laws of their imaginary friend. And I'm not at all sure that a desire for "righteousness and obedience to God" should be considered "good". However, I can respect religious people, and I respect the moral stance you've taken here. It's nice to see a moral religious person for a change.
THANK YOU. I likewise identify as straight, and I am likewise a fairly religious Christian, but this is exactly what I needed to hear... nice to know my hodgepodge of conservative personal choices and liberal politics aren't totally unique.
I wish more people would hear this, gays and Christians alike.
Everything's been said about the Christians, but us gays need to remember that they are really not all against us, and that we need to stop hating them on our side too. After all, our goal is to live all together at peace.
you also had me thinking- imagine how much better a lot of lives would be around the planet if someone high up in the church said what you said, particularly the part from romans 8.
What will happen to you when you die? Have you ever told lies, stolen, used God's name in vain, or looked at someone with lust? If yes, then you are a lying, theiving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart. When you die & stand before God you'll be guilty of breaking His law. The bible says you'll end up in Hell! But God sent God his Son Jesus to die for your sins, & He rose from the dead on the third day. If you'll believe the Gospel(Jesus died for your sins & was resurrected) you'll be saved!
Wow fantastic video Rohan, I'm not Christian but I am glad to see that there are indeed Christians out there that speak out in support of the gay community helping breaking down the conservative stereotype
It's funny that Jesus never ran into gay men or lesbians in his travels. It would have been interesting to see if he could have actually "healed" them. What about the woman caught in adultery and was about to be stoned. Jesus said. "Go and sin no more." but after that, we never hear about that woman or her actions in that did she still commit adultry after her visit with Jesus?
how the hell do you religious people have all of these quotes memorized? And on top of that, are able to find appropriate times to use all of them? There have been times when i forget how to spell words like "world" and somehow you have room in your brains to contain pages upon pages of scripture. it just makes no sense how you do this.
@Callanishername Well, I'm not really a religious person but when I was a kid I went to this one activity every Wednesday night that was a Christian children's program. Every week they would give me two quotes from the bible to memorize and then they would have my recite it the next day. Also, some of my very religious friends and their families go over scripture every night... If you go over something enough, and it's important enough to you, you just know it. (Its crazy, I know.)
It's amazing that the anti-gays never even consider how their animus towards LGBT people actually hurts kids who aren't even gay. Your story is one that needs to be told, so thanks for sharing it.
I don't know which was the bigger fail in this video: your sad attempt to defend the elaborate superstition known as "christianity" or your use of "LGBTQ" as if that is a term that sane people should use to refer to gay people.
Thank you, Rohan, for this. Speaking as a Christian, I get tired of people assuming that I am hateful and judgemental on this topic, so I was so glad to see your perspective on this.
This is the most wise and sensible thing I heard about this subject. I only dlike to add a quotation from Pascal : " Men aren't angels nor evils but who wants to be an angel, often became an evil ..."( l' homme n'est ni ange ni bête, mais qui veut faire l' ange fait la bête ) I never understand why some christians are so intolerant.
im a christian and i believe homosexuals, rapists, liers, etc are all going to hell w/o jesus christ. were no better than a than a rapists in gods eyes we all are sinners and we all need jesus. yes i believe homosexuality is a sin but making fun of someone for raping someone isn't right. we all need to see our own fault and judge ourselves instead of being so caught up in other people
Great video. It's amazing how those so found of quoting Romans 1 to "prove" being gay is wrong seem to stop there and never make it to the end of Romans 8.
I've been having some awful conversations lately with Christians who cannot see past their worldviews of what the Bible says about homosexuality, and will do nothing but repeat how I am destined for hell. Seeing someone accept Jesus' call for us to love one another is refreshing and needed in the Christian community. Thanks so much for sharing. It is, in fact, a very valuable thing to say.
*clap clap clap* I also believe that Christ forgives everything, and beign gay or whatever the proper term is now, is NOT a sin. Also I believe Another World Is Possible and this is what my youth group is going for to help change the world one person at a time. So keep going man you can help make a difference even by just making a video like this or standing up to bullies :)
Thank you so much for posting this - this is exactly what I've just started to fight where I live. It's not going very well (ie people won't even consider that what I'm saying really makes sense) so this was very affirming. Thank you.
Ah that baptist school... This year there has been a lot of LGBT bullying in grade 12 and the school is doing nothing but shoving it under the rug. It's ridiculous.
You are saying exactly what all people who follow Christ should say. Hate the sin, LOVE the sinner. We all sin and I HATE that we have forgotten that ALL sins are equal. We need more people saying these things on here.
Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination.
Romans 1: 26 For this cause YHVH gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Very well said. I've been frustrated with this whole situation because I don't agree with homosexuality or believe that it is biblical, and some people equate this with hate. But I DO NOT hate gay people. I have a very dear friend who was bullied in high school as you were, so much that he actually started to believe that he was gay and embraced the lifestyle. But he abandoned the lifestyle when he came to Christ years later and is now happily married to a woman.
@KiraArts Being gay isn't a style of life. As you may know, the term "gay" describes everyone from billionaire record producers to members of Congress to farmers to plumbers to homeless kids to soldiers in Iraq and on and on. These people all live very different lives and do not share the same "lifestyle" b/c they are gay. U may not know it, but u are belittling gay ppl when u use that term. Beyond that, if you think gay ppl are all going to rightfully burn in hellfire, then you do hate.
I'm neither Christian, nor religious in any way, but I wholy agree with the way you express your beliefs and interpret religion. And you brought a different perspective. Great video!
thanks so much for this! I am a christian who is also grieving over the hurt the larger christian community has caused through this issue. it's nice to know other christians recognize this as well. no matter what someone's personal views on whether something is right or wrong, it does not excuse mean-spirited, hateful, or harmful behavior. let him without sin throw the first stone.
You do a brilliant job of explaining something I've been struggling with for years. I went to a Baptist school for years and 1 of my friends there came out. How did most of the class handle it? Not well. He was an outcast. The same thing at my church. The days that we could convince the two boys to come to youth group, the minister would specifically preach on Gays burning in Hell. This is not Christian love. I'm glad to see that the church is changing, while sticking to Biblical teachings.
I second @adelayay. I have no words to express my gratitude towards you for putting this video up. I agree whole heartedly with what you've said here, and it makes my heart warm. Hallelujah someone is preaching love!
And if God really did have a problem with it, who are we to judge. If God is to make judgment, he will do so in the end. But we need to be kind to all our brothers and sisters no matter who they are and what they have done. Why make this world unbearable for another? By casting judgments on others we are denying Christ's teachings and therefore we would be just as wrong or even more wrong than those who profess to be homosexual. I love all my bretheren and we should all strive for tolerance.
As another Christian, I agree so much with everything you've said here. It's hard sometimes when the people around you who you respect are telling you not to get behind causes like this, but I really believe that we as the Church need to show compassion and understanding in this issue, not judgment. I can't find one place in the Bible that calls us to judge others, but I've found a lot that tell us to love.
This gave me such hope that there are other Christians out there who feel this way - who know that God's love is endless and does not discriminate, particularly for something that is not a choice.
I am a teacher in a Christian school and struggle every day with it. My curriculum is completely censored and when you're teaching a subject like Drama, that makes it hard.
I hate the assumptions people make about my beliefs purely when I say I am a Christian.
@stupidfurball Hence the need for a savior, yes, but through Christ, nothing separates us from God anymore. That's what Romans 8 is about, we don't have to atone for our sin anymore because Christ already did. Now, that doesn't mean we should just sin for the sake of it anymore (that's addressed earlier in Romans), but it means we don't have to pay for it. We don't have to be condemned. :]
I love this. I will not partake in the goings on of homosexuality myself, but I'm all for being friendly and humane to people that do.
I'm sorry you got bashed and that anyone gets bashed. That's just ridiculous and unnecessary. I'm a Christian, but I've fully accepted the fact that not everyone else wants to be a Christian too and lead a lifestyle like the one I want to lead.
Hurrah! Another Christian who gets that we're supposed to put the call to Love Unconditionally above the other things! Thanks for articulating this so excellently. And for being more famous than I am, because people may actually listen to you. :)
I'm not religious myself but am grateful for some of the things you mentioned in this video - it's great to see a broadening of acception of homosexuality in the churches of the world :), and great to see those (like you) spreading the love!
I'm not going to get into a debate on homosexuality and the leaving out of certain biblical scriptures to condone it, but I really identify with your experiences. I was bullied in school and told I was gay because I played the flute and because of the way I talked. Fortunately, after dealing with it for a year, it was quickly stopped by a helpful band teacher whom I confided in. I'm 23 now and still question myself as you said you did in the video. The effects of bullying are long-lasting and...
thank you. as a Christian I often am told I need to justify my belief in rights for (and the responsibility of Christians to stand up for the rights of) the LGBTQ community. You articulate things very well, and I appreciate it so much.
I am currently not very religious, but I once identified as Christian, and I have to say that I find this video extremely refreshing. You are amazing with words; continue to do what you do!
You are so right and I love that you made an it gets better video. I think you said something that I never could really put into words and it's something that's important. I am definitely reposting this video. God Bless, and I hope He used you to speak truth into someone's life : )
That was great. Thank you for using scripture in the right way. I agree with you 100%. I currently work in Christian Education and wouldn't be able to say these things because of conservative viewpoints. I admire you for standing up :) Thank you!
I agree that bullying in any and every form and against others, no matter what the target is WRONG and EVIL! While homosexuality is no different than any other sin and struggle, it should NEVER be considered more so and thus, targeted for bullying!
That was so fantastic. As a person raised in a fanatically Christian home and an attendee of a radically Christian school, I was constantly told that gay=hell and damnation, and if you sympathized it was the same fate. I have since grown and formed my own ideas but it is so refreshing to see somebody who sees God as an accepting being and not a tool of exclusion. Thank you.
I had never thought of this before, it brings to light a very valid point. Very well said and a perfect video, thank you for putting a christian voice to this.
I am so going to use this video when I have discussions with people on the topic of how we, as Christians, should view the LGBTQ community. Once again, you have expressed my views better than I ever could. <3 You make me proud to be a (Super)Chicken.
You've reminded me of a fave quote I'd forgotten by John Cusack:
Q: Who are your heroes in real life?
A: "Let’s go with Jesus. Not the gay-hating, war-making political tool of the right, but the outcast, subversive, supreme adept who preferred the freaks and lepers and despised and doomed to the rich and powerful."
I just want to say that I am extremely pleased to hear an educated, religious stance on recent events and injustices. Although I am strongly atheist and believe that the church has no stance in determining the basic human rights of an individual (including their basic right to LIVE without being condemned for their identity), it is comforting to see that there are people within the church who can see past its outdated ideologies.
Thank you for making this video, I respect you immensely.
I'm forwarding your video to my bisexual friend who lives many states away. I can't go hug her, hold her & tell her in person that God loves her unconditionally & that breaks my heart. She is SO faithful to God, even through her doubts & struggles. My heart breaks for people in general who the church has hurt (for whatever reason), but somehow the abuse delivered to the GLBTQ community and supporters especially pisses me off. <3 to you, Rohan. Thanks for being willing & available to God.
I'm a straight Christian, and this made me cry... and I'm really not the crying-at-you-tube sort of person. Thank you for making this video. I agree wholeheartedly. The church, the Body of Christ, should not appear to be full of hatred for people created by God in the image of God. We should not look upon anyone's suffering with apathy or indifference. I hope that our generation can change the attitudes of our peers and elders enough for the next generation to be able to say "It IS better."
I've only ever watched one of your videos before this one (you impersonating John Green) and to be honest the only reason why I'm here at all is because John Green linked me to you through Facebook.
That being said... this was astonishing. It warms my heart when individuals such as yourself take the time and the effort to analyze a situation, think deeply about the factors involved and come to a reasonable conclusion. Choosing to think critically and examine the situation from all angles is...
im not being mean, i admit god loves us all no matter what, and being gay doesnt mean you go to hell, but the bible does say....its a sin... again not being mean
@animedork27 And having sex outside of wedlock is, too, a sin. As is eating shellfish, as is cutting your hair & shaving your beard among other things. There is no argument when you (not necessarily you as a person, but the church in general) pick and choose what is or is not a sin, & what is and is not a problem.
The argument may be that you (or the church) does still condemn such actions, but people who "sin" in other ways aren't being denied their basic human rights.
@hplondonlove well there is biblical reasons why some of those things you mentioned arent exactly considered a sin one being matthew 5:17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. but im not gunna get into a debate about why i can cut my hair but as for the last part i agree completely that they shouldnt be descriminated, thats what gives us christians a bad name, but...well ill give you a link thats sums up my views
This made me cry. My friend from a conservative Southern Baptist family has been the only one to harass me about my sexuality, and while I consider that lucky, it hurt. She tried to be nice, but in the end our extremely different views caused us to fight, and eventually she broke off any contact with me. I'm Christian, but lately I've been bitter towards other Christians because of this. Hearing a fellow Christian admit that the church is contributing to the problem gives me hope. Thank you.
As a Christian, I really have to thank you for your words. It's always so great to hear when someone speaks Truth! My heart breaks for all the horrible things Christians do in the name of their religion (myself included). We have to remember that Christ's death is an atonement for ALL sins, and heaven is for ALL people, not just the ones that are just like us. We are called to love everyone, regardless of who they are and what they do, just as Jesus loved us. DFTBA!
I agree with John Green- definitely the best "It Gets Better" I've seen so far. As a Christian, it saddens me that so many of our religion have turned to hate and condemnation, where our Lord would have used only love towards those who are ostracized. Thank you for providing your perspective- I hope that it shows lots of people out there that the loudest Christians don't stand for all Christians, and that there are some of us who adhere to the loving teachings of Christ. I also love your accent.
I'm straight, but I support the LGBT community. What bugs me is that the conservative Christian parents I have to deal with every day still think homosexuality is wrong, and are always quoting Bible verses out of context. I'm Christian, but I don't appreciate Christians who judge others by their sexual orientation.
Great video, and although I don't personally know anyone who IS gay, I will pass this on.
I'm Jewish, but this video still struck a chord with me. It's so easy to antagonize religious people in the issue of homophobia, and I'm so happy that you got out there and showed that not all religious people are anti-gay
Thank you for this. I am so sick of people telling me that I am wrong for being bisexual because "God frowns upon it." I think that a lot of people forget that Jesus preached a message of tolerance, not hate.
Thank you so much for this. When I was twelve/thirteen, that kind of attitude towards people who are different in general was what gave me this huge crisis of faith. It wasn't until I realized that I can't be angry at God and not believe in him at the same time, but I had been so reluctant to identify myself as Christian because of the anti-LGBT attitudes that so many members project for a very long time.
I love this. Gosh, this is fantastic. I am a Christian, and I totally support gay rights. You laid it out perfectly in this video. I believe, no matter who you love on Earth, the only relationship that matters to God is between you and Him. There is no sin that can separate anyone from God. I wish people would understand this.
this is what i've tried to tell people from church, but no one will listen because most Roman Catholic's don't want to change their views. we need to do so however if we ever want to truly follow in christ's footsteps
I was just faced with this idea today, though not as a direct victim. I was walking back to my college dorm and passed a group of religious protesters, fighting against abortion and homosexuality. The graphic images for the abortion stands were enough to upset me, but the man preaching spoke of Hell and damnation, rather than love and forgiveness. As a Christian myself, I couldn't help but think that Jesus would not have pointed his finger like the radicals of today do in the name of the faith.
@hullohopehere Are you in PA? They came to my school yesterday. It is really disgusting the images they show and the things they preach. They don't believe you can be a Christian if you don't believe exactly the way they do.
OMG i completely agree with you, thankyou so much for posting this video....i'm a christian myself and i am completely against the discrimination against the homosexual community, you all deserve as much as everyone else does even if someone says you dont....who is one person to tell you what to do or what to wear or how to look....you have the right to be individual and express everything you believe in....and i Thankyou missing signal you are awesome
Amen! I'm not going to lie and say that I agree with the gay lifestyle but I love them and I have quite a few friends who are gay. To think that they would be mistreated because they're gay makes me want to cry...quite literally.
You're so right. Christ calls us to love everyone, with a regardless kind of love. It's not up to people to punish sin, but God. I hate how Christianity can sometimes be presented or interpreted or used even as a cover to outwardly hate. What we can do, is be a shoulder to lean on and perhaps disperse hope that way. At least, that's what I aim to do. :) Thank you for sharing this with us, Rohan!
Thank you, so much. This has actually taken away a great deal of the guilt I feel for being a straight Christian who believes in LGBTQ rights. You expressed exactly my opinion in much better words than I have ever been able to, and I feel a lot more confidant in being a Christian AND standing up for LGBTQ rights. Again, thank you.
@annielouuu I wonder what his actual position is on gay marriage because he never actually says? He just says God loves everyone and no one should be mistreated for being gay.
@ClareT994 Not mentioning gay marriage specifically in this video was a deliberate action on my part, so as to make sure I wasn't automatically ignored by Christians more conservative than I, and to show that - apart from the morality/purity debate - we are neglecting a fundamental part of our faith. However, I DO support same-sex relationships inside and outside the Church.
This is amazing, I really have nothing else to say about it. I'm a Christian too, and it's hard for me to see people using Christianity as their reason for being homophobic or hateful. I'm straight, but some of my best friends are gay. Doesn't God just want us all to love each other, no matter what gets in the way? Thank you for this vid.
I really want to say thank you for this video, because lately my experiences with very religious people have been all rather negative. This video reminded me that I shouldn't forget that there are actually a lot of really good things about Christianity, and religion in general, that I have been forgetting just because lately I haven't seen them demonstrated. I may not really know my own faith, but I was really happy to hear you talk about yours.
I completely agree. I hate when I hear that people who claim to be Christian are disowning gay people or suggesting they can't be a part of a church. It makes me so saddened because I honestly believe that everyone should be loved and respected. There are so many people who could be shown love and instead are having Bibles literally thrown at them for being gay.

I totally agree. We're all clumped into the "hating-protesting funerals-and-parades-pickiting-signs" category, and its not right.
We have no right to accuse others and point out others sins, "For all fall short of the glory of God"
In addition, Jesus teaches us to love, and as Christians, it is our God given duty to love everyone.
I am an ally, but I have been bullied for standing up for my gay friends in front of my christian friends.
Thank you so much. :)

What will happen to you when you die? Have you ever told lies, stolen, used God's name in vain, or looked at someone with lust? If yes, then you are a lying, theiving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart. When you die & stand before God you'll be guilty of breaking His law. The bible says you'll end up in Hell! But God sent God his Son Jesus to die for your sins, & He rose from the dead on the third day. If you'll believe the Gospel(Jesus died for your sins & was resurrected) you'll be saved!

im a christian and i believe homosexuals, rapists, liers, etc are all going to hell w/o jesus christ. were no better than a than a rapists in gods eyes we all are sinners and we all need jesus. yes i believe homosexuality is a sin but making fun of someone for raping someone isn't right. we all need to see our own fault and judge ourselves instead of being so caught up in other people

I've been having some awful conversations lately with Christians who cannot see past their worldviews of what the Bible says about homosexuality, and will do nothing but repeat how I am destined for hell. Seeing someone accept Jesus' call for us to love one another is refreshing and needed in the Christian community. Thanks so much for sharing. It is, in fact, a very valuable thing to say.

Very well said. I've been frustrated with this whole situation because I don't agree with homosexuality or believe that it is biblical, and some people equate this with hate. But I DO NOT hate gay people. I have a very dear friend who was bullied in high school as you were, so much that he actually started to believe that he was gay and embraced the lifestyle. But he abandoned the lifestyle when he came to Christ years later and is now happily married to a woman.

@KiraArts Being gay isn't a style of life. As you may know, the term "gay" describes everyone from billionaire record producers to members of Congress to farmers to plumbers to homeless kids to soldiers in Iraq and on and on. These people all live very different lives and do not share the same "lifestyle" b/c they are gay. U may not know it, but u are belittling gay ppl when u use that term. Beyond that, if you think gay ppl are all going to rightfully burn in hellfire, then you do hate.

You do a brilliant job of explaining something I've been struggling with for years. I went to a Baptist school for years and 1 of my friends there came out. How did most of the class handle it? Not well. He was an outcast. The same thing at my church. The days that we could convince the two boys to come to youth group, the minister would specifically preach on Gays burning in Hell. This is not Christian love. I'm glad to see that the church is changing, while sticking to Biblical teachings.

And if God really did have a problem with it, who are we to judge. If God is to make judgment, he will do so in the end. But we need to be kind to all our brothers and sisters no matter who they are and what they have done. Why make this world unbearable for another? By casting judgments on others we are denying Christ's teachings and therefore we would be just as wrong or even more wrong than those who profess to be homosexual. I love all my bretheren and we should all strive for tolerance.

As another Christian, I agree so much with everything you've said here. It's hard sometimes when the people around you who you respect are telling you not to get behind causes like this, but I really believe that we as the Church need to show compassion and understanding in this issue, not judgment. I can't find one place in the Bible that calls us to judge others, but I've found a lot that tell us to love.

This gave me such hope that there are other Christians out there who feel this way - who know that God's love is endless and does not discriminate, particularly for something that is not a choice.
I am a teacher in a Christian school and struggle every day with it. My curriculum is completely censored and when you're teaching a subject like Drama, that makes it hard.
I hate the assumptions people make about my beliefs purely when I say I am a Christian.
I long to meet other Christians like you.

@stupidfurball Hence the need for a savior, yes, but through Christ, nothing separates us from God anymore. That's what Romans 8 is about, we don't have to atone for our sin anymore because Christ already did. Now, that doesn't mean we should just sin for the sake of it anymore (that's addressed earlier in Romans), but it means we don't have to pay for it. We don't have to be condemned. :]

@animedork27 And having sex outside of wedlock is, too, a sin. As is eating shellfish, as is cutting your hair & shaving your beard among other things. There is no argument when you (not necessarily you as a person, but the church in general) pick and choose what is or is not a sin, & what is and is not a problem.
The argument may be that you (or the church) does still condemn such actions, but people who "sin" in other ways aren't being denied their basic human rights.

I was just faced with this idea today, though not as a direct victim. I was walking back to my college dorm and passed a group of religious protesters, fighting against abortion and homosexuality. The graphic images for the abortion stands were enough to upset me, but the man preaching spoke of Hell and damnation, rather than love and forgiveness. As a Christian myself, I couldn't help but think that Jesus would not have pointed his finger like the radicals of today do in the name of the faith.

@ClareT994 Not mentioning gay marriage specifically in this video was a deliberate action on my part, so as to make sure I wasn't automatically ignored by Christians more conservative than I, and to show that - apart from the morality/purity debate - we are neglecting a fundamental part of our faith.

Everyone reading this should know they are loved.
