Christian Right: Banning Anti-Gay Harassment is "Discrimination" Against Christians
Our friends over at The Big Gay Picture have an interesting story...
What exactly do conservative Christians want? According to the Los Angeles Times, they want the right to loudly and publicly condemn homosexuality, and criticize and harass GLBT people and organizations, even in public school settings. Anything less amounts to harassment and discrimination against them, the result of a world that is "anti-Christian" and intolerant of their version of Christianity.
In other words, next stop, the Twilight Zone.
The Times' article gives some fascinating examples of this "war" on Christianity: a middle school student was told not to wear a T-shirt that proclaimed: "Homosexuality is a sin! Islam is a lie! Abortion is murder!" In another case, the Georgia Tech Republicans were reprimanded for sending the campus gay group an insulting letter, calling them a "sex club," among many other things.

ByI am christan, but i fully support people who choose to be gay. i have friends who are gay to. I think it is horrible the amount of discrimination that people who choose to be gay go through. It is sad that some christians choose to take such a harsh veiw like in the article above. I support gay rights

Not to start anything, but you should ask your friends if they chose to be gay. I have a feeling they would say no.

Maybe more gays should start attending churches with tee shirts that say "Jesus was a queer," and see just how long the good Jesus people take to throw them (physically) off the premises or to have them arrested for trespassing.
Christians are so hypocritical!

Dear Anonymous:
People do not choose to be gay. Nobody is that masochistic. One is gay just because one is and that is that. Choosing has nothing to do with it and I wish people would stop using that word with us. I agree with Onanite that Christians are so hypocritical but then so is all humanity. Christians are all the more so because they claim to be tolerant and loving and show nothing but hate toward gays..or even worse condescension. Where do they get off with the holier than thou attitude? Did they choose to be straight and when in their lives did they have the choice of being straight or gay and then decided Oh, I want to be straight because that is what my Lord wants. Give me a friggin' break.yait

As an openly gay Christian, i have exprience descrmation from both communities about the other. and as someone said above, you do not 'chose' to be gay, God made me that way. i know that He loves me, and thats all i care about.
