Amen. Thank you for helping to break the myth that all people of faith are homophobic, narrow minded and out of touch. You and your supporters are a shining beacon of hope in these troubled times.

Rev. Dr. Spearman, thank you for restoring faith in humanity. I wish more Christians were like you.

@mrchiefofsinners Here let me explain something. If we are weak, psychological, and emotional for getting laws passed to help those of us who need it, then does that make you the same since apparently the right wing side are doing the exact same thing?

P.S. Maybe you should research more, because if you did you'd notice that being gay isn't a sickness, researchers and psychiatrist and more have already warn of the dangers of trying to cure homosexuality since its not an emotional thing.

@mrchiefofsinners While I'm at it let me de-bunk your hate.

All LGBT believe in free speech...we actually don't give a damn what you say about us...as long as we get the same freedoms as you. LGBT are not weak...in any sense. Thats like saying people with brown hair are weak..it makes no sense.

Then you change the subject into hate...hidden by love. Do you know the solution the medical and pschy community tells young gay people? Be gay! It's healthy and normal. Sorry, hate doesn't work here.

@mrchiefofsinners Hey why not put this in different context!

Blacks don't believe in free speech because they are always trying to get laws passed so people can't speak against being black. Blacks are emotionally and psychology weak because they can't even handle an opposing pinion.

If anyone is struggling with the sin and disease of being black, please, turn to Christ for forgiveness for salvation. Then, seek medical and physiological treatment.

Ouch sounds like hate is hate no matter what

[mrchiefofsinners]

Homosexuals don't believe in free speech because they are always trying to get laws passed so people can't speak against homosexuality. Homosexuals are emotionally and psychological weak because they can't even handle an opposing

opinion.

If anyone is struggling with the sin and disease of homosexuality, please, turn to Christ for forgiveness and salvation. Then, seek medical and psychological treatment.

@kidgloss Yeah... it's only MOST 'people of faith' that are the problem. In the same way that Americans are constantly calling on Muslims to speak against the radical element, I'll believe the average Christian isn't a homophobe when their pastors rise as one to call for equal rights for all of us as a matter of Christian principle.
