In yesterday's post, I was trying to be tactful and didn't spell everything out.... And I'd actually be a little afraid to say everything I could.... If there aren't enough conflicts already, I don't want to stir up new ones....
There was a TV evangelist from my church whom I saw about five years ago.... He was expressing some discomfort with gays and gay marriage.... He didn't try to cover it up with any religious reasoning.... I appreciate his honesty....
A family member once commented to me about a gay pride parade.... Myself, I've seen bald, husky, middle-aged gay men dancing with little pink bows on their heads in a gay pride parade.... It's possible some other Christians are reacting to this kind of thing...? Or to other outlandish-looking gay people...? But these aren't typical of all gays, I don't believe.... And during their pride week, they have a lot of workshops and programs, I've heard, and the parade is only a small part of it--although it's more public.... In their daily lives, I believe the gays have to more or less conform to society; and the parade and pride week may be a special time for them to relax and goof around...? I don't know...? Anyway, I also met a young man who was dressed as a "princess" at a health clinic one day.... He had a few friends with him and I overheard some conversation.... This man actually sounded like quite an intelligent person...! So, we can't always judge by the appearance--not for gays or others...!
A few years after my landlord/tenant matter, I found a comprehensive article about gays in our local, community newspaper.... I read it and found the information to be quite serious.... A few more years later, the big city newspaper nearby published a comprehensive article.... This kind of information is a lot more realistic than just observing a few gay people here and there, in my opinion...! That's why I recommend for Christian people--especially the church leaders and TV personalities--to read my pamphlet, in this blog, or to find their own information.... I've done research on the Internet also and found helpful information....
Well, I'm trying to help people think and maybe to generate some discussion....
