Why Christians Are So Mean to Gays
By Andy Heath
I have noticed over the last decade of so that the Christians' hatred of gays has become even more fierce than it ever was. After pondering this interesting phenomenon, I think I understand why that is. At a PFLAG meeting a few years ago, the group leader mentioned that the reason for this is that Christians see that they are quickly losing the battle against us. They realize that they are in danger of people once again saying they are wrong (just as people did when they supported school segregation and were against women's suffrage). Christians are loathe to be told that they are wrong because they believe they are representatives of God and therefore must be beyond being wrong.
Yes, we have a few states now that have legalized gay marriage and there are sure many more to come. And though they are happy that 29 states have passed constitutional amendments to ban same sex marriage at the time of this writing (including Tennessee where I live) . Yet, the time is coming when gays will win our rights just as Blacks and women have done before us. There is essentially nothing the Christians can do to stop it and they know it. So they continue to fight against us, much like a hungry wounded lion. People say that lions are never more dangerous than when they're hungry and wounded, and I would say the same is true of the Christians, but the fact is that they are defeated. No matter what cruel action they take to harm us, they have lost this battle.
