I kind of agree with what your saying.
At first I was thinking on the lines of odooley6985 but…
Here’s my
I understand sin is sin, but the mistreatment of gays caused this. Now I'm not saying everyone that mistreated gays would identify with being Christian but there are those that mistreat gays (falsely) in the name of Christ. And then there's those that hate gays in the same fashion as those that are against blacks (or minorities in general), Jews, Muslims, and even Christians.
Look when you have a group of people that's mistreated and abused and denied rights. That commits suicide because of getting abused or bullied is so bad they rather die than live anymore. Especially if most can’t see them actively hurting anyone, and just being themselves, its going to be compared to every group of people ever persecuted throughout history. They are going to look at the various religious groups persecuted in other countries, Christian groups in Muslim countries among them. They are going to be reminded of the Jews persecution during the Holocaust. They are going to be reminded of the blacks mistreatment here in America. And they are going to be remembered of the evil that these groups portrayed against these people just because they don't like the way they look, or what they believe in, or what they do unto themselves.
So in conclusion, gays are going the way of racism, and anti-Semitism. Its going to be a stigma on even looking like they are against gays. Its the same as when someone gets accused of saying something racist. They have to retract it to help themselves or else society would mark them as a degenerate to society.
A true Christian knows that sexual sins are sexual sins and homosexual sins are no different than and is simply fornication. There is way more fornicators (heterosexual or otherwise) than there is gays and way more acceptance of fornication and that fornicators don't get mistreated at the level gays are mistreated, (fornicators use to be shamed, women for the most part) even within churches. And even though there may be a number of professing Christians that don't treat gays no different than any other sinner and there may be a number of gays that are not trying to cram there lifestyle down your throat. But the ones that are, are the loudest and they appear to represent the whole. So Christians
look like gay hating bigots because of
some and gay agenda is pushed hard because of
some.
