It Gets Better (an apology from a straight and heartbroken Christian)

As a Christian I am appalled by the way I see Christians acting towards the Homosexual/gay/lesbian/transgender community. I am sorry for the way we have treated you and I want you to know that it gets better.

Thank you for this video.

It takes a lot of balls to make a video like this. You, sir, who made this video, are awesome.

Five fingers are not equal.Some Christians are mean to gays. Kids are mean anyway in general. One of the best people I know is a lesbian. She is a good person. But yes, we have to re-evaluate how we treat each other in general.

Its awesome that youve posted this video! Im a striaght christian that supports the LGBT community and I agree with what youve said completly. I wish there were a way to remove the hate entirely but videos like this certainly help. :) Keep it up. :)

I love this video and I applaud you for making it. I am gay and a Christian, so I'm very happy you made this!! God bless you, you're amazing!! :) I've been called all those names as well, and now I just kinda brush it off my shoulder. Thanks for this. :)

This video is close to my heart and hits home with me because I feel the same EXACT way with you, being a devout Christian myself.

I have been called those names as well. I am also ashamed with the way a lot of Christians are acting, and it saddens me. =[

I think most Christians actually think like you. The ones that don't are just louder.

I left Mormonism @15 to bcm christian. I spent 3-14hrs a day studying the concordance for 6yrs. I was ordained & thrown away by christians for loving a person I didn't touch. Today, I am [FtM].

Your knowledge of the Bible disregards it. It says to KILL same sex partners & cross-dressers. There is no apology at the end. The Bible is a slaves manifesto 2 perpetuate a slave state. It has produced bitter, fearful, jealous, & verbal/physically violent slaves. I'd say, that's "Mission Accomplished".

You make me hopeful for the future of social justice.

I think the people in your community will be lucky to have you as a pastor.

@youknowiloveyouuu What do you mean it's the "lifestyle he doesn't accept"? So God loves us as long as we don't fall in love and decide to enter a committed relationship? How could a God of love ever disapprove of love?
