People use terms with relation to context. Most above would simply call themselves "Christian". Including some of the "gay Christians" that I know. However, when reaching out to the gay community or trying to help remove un-called for hatred or stigma that hinders gay seekers from coming to the cross... the term "gay Christian" is no doubt a quite useful for them.

My point is... if they are pressing in to the crowd of this culture to get a closer look at Jesus, and some stand to a chance to be conformed into His image... I don't care what they call themselves. Besides... technically... in a sense, we all should be "gay" Christians:
Definition of GAY
1a : happily excited : merry <in a gay mood> b : keenly alive and exuberant : having or inducing high spirits <a bird's gay spring song>
Some of you guys need to laugh and love a little more. Become a "gay Christian". lol
SSSTTTTRRRREEECCCCCTTHHHHHHH! we not are to identify with a sinful lifestyle. old things passed away, right? What happened to identify with in Christ alone.
