Those self-anointed “Christians” are hating again in Alameda
Those self-anointed “Christians” who hate gays (and lesbians and bisexuals and especially transgender folks) are at it again.
This time they are out howling against a program in Alameda, CA designed to protect LGBT kids (and the kids of LGBT parents) from being harassed at school.
These “Christians” - who undoubtedly believe they hate the “sin” and not the “sinner” are nevertheless ready to crucify these children on the cross of political expediency and fund raising priorities. They don’t care what happens to LGBT kids (and the kids of LGBT parents). All they care about is their right to let their kids grow up to be bullies, haters and bigots. After all, where would their “Christian” church be if people didn’t hate gay folk?
There’s nothing in the Alameda plan that prevents parents from teaching their kids that homosexuality is against their religion, morally wrong or bad. What the schools want to teach is that (whatever you believe about homosexuality) you can’t beat kids up because they are LGBT kids (or the kids of LGBT parents.
Is this a measure of acceptance? Only if you believe that the alternative of having kids bullied - sometimes to the pint of suicide - is acceptable in a country that claims to be the “Land of the Free,” let alone a “Christian nation.”
Protesting LGBT kids (and the kids of LGBT parents) is not negotiable. It is a whole lot closer to what Jesus had in mind than the empty rhetoric of these far right law firms that exist only to raise money by demonizing LGBT people and their allies.
