Christians bullying LGBT community

I experienced gay bullying for the first time in my life. Who did the bullying? Yes, Christians. They backstab, gossip, criticized me for listening to LGBT community. I am very concerned about lack of love in the Christian community for LGBT community.

Can you give us a link or an article to which you are referring to...that you asked your friends/Christian people to read...would like to read it and share with others, see what their thoughts are. Thanking you in advance!

@DeafPoet2 - for some reason, I could not post the link here. You can type in the Internet search engine - Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin by Rev. Patrick Chung. The article is on Huffington Post.

Well said Justin! I totally agree with you! Love everyone no matter what kind of life they live! It's very common that people whispered in some churches, see that person over there, she/he is a drug addict, gay, lesbian, etc., puts people on the spot to judge others, which happens. I'm not surprised you got attacked by many so-called Christians who has legalism/judgmental heart...it's sad! I'm glad you shared with us all of your experience and hopefully open some other pastors' eyes! Great vlog!

@DeafPoet2 - Many thanks for your encouraging words. God bless you! :) Yes, those legalistic heart often could not see themselves actually committing acts of hate. They say no, I did it for God. But Jesus warned us that "they shall persecute you and think they do God service."

I agree that bullying is wrong and yelling or putting down others won't get anything done. However, soon will come a time if not already that being a follower of Christ will be tantamount to a hate crime. Take care not to compromise your faith for the sake of appeasing those who consider themselves God's enemies

@michaeladam618 - Thanks for warning. I feel I am not compromising my faith. I am simply standing up against prejudice agains the gay community. Equal to standing up against slavery or segregation.

Justin, truly sorry to see you going through all this %&*#@ from other so called Christians, preferring some printed words and misinterpretations over real people that God created in His/Her image. I feel your pain. I thank you for your courage to simply listen and try and understand. I thank you because you reflect the hope, light, and love of Christ that I experienced and continue to experience. It helps us taste what the Christ went thru the few days before his death cuz of his great Love.

Thanks again that strong deaf Chrsitians even they are SBC and keep old system and not open to the world so we can help them to Christ with God's help. I felt the same thing. Few gays know that I am Christians but they respect and we get along as I just leave them alone while we work together at popular food store. Jesus was with sinner and help them to change from wrong style living to proper living to glorify to God. We just pray and be patience with them. Not easy indeed. They need be open.

Thanks for making it clarification for this. I know some deaf Christians ignored weak hunger Christians and they look for favorsim with strong asl or know each others from deaf school which is absurb. I was neglected by deaf sunday teacher who acted avoid and focus favorism with strong asl. how rude. it is old news to me for years and years in every states I lived. I cant stand for any deaf leader Chrsitians with pride and look down on other deafies in community. I am there and still alone.
