Some terms are in house terms we can use to show who some folk can turn to. A struggling gay believer might not turn to us for help because we can't understand what they are going through. He or she might turn to those known as "gay Christians" because they have been there and can understand.

There is a very good reason for rejecting the term. There is at least one 'gay church' in my area. Their are others who do not care what your lifestyle is as long as you attend that church. This leads people who are actively participating in the homosexual lifestyle to call themselves 'Christian'. This is an ever growing movement made especially popular by our wonderful secular media (heavy sarcasm). I do not know how many articles I have seen claiming that a person can be 'gay' and Christian.
Call me what you want, but when the term 'gay' is used to describe an active homosexual lifestyle, the last thing on a Christian's mind should be anything that will identify them with that life. Words and identity matter, and it is highly indicative of our spiritual status when we cease to care about who we are identified with.
