It's a shame that people use God as an argument on how someone should be treated less then equal. To state that God sees a Holy Covenant only between a man & woman is to ignore the love between Jonathan & David and Ruth & Naomi. During the course of the Bible's historical relevance there was acceptance of multiple wives, wives treated as property, a requirement of a woman to merry her deceased husbands brother, slavery, failure to take care of the poor, or elderly, or disabled. All changed.

Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.

A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.

Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.

But what about the scriptures? The HolyBible says that each generation is more wicked. So for those person who watch this video & get angry, don't waste ur breath, instead pray to the Father in heaven for the salvation of such persons & for those who really want to live holy but are being deceived by such persons who take scriptures and twist them 4 their own use. When God said that he would give us the desires of our hearts, he means the ones that match his Word & His Heart.

Of course someone from the metropolitan community church would think that this is an excellent video...amazing. Truth is no longer appreciated in this society...worse, the truth of God's word is no longer appreciated in or outside of the church..and the church who are suppose to influence society is instead being influenced by it..in pursuit of our own desires we are twisting the very sacred word of God to suit what we want to do and to faciliate our compliance with an ungodly society
