While doing research for this post as I do all my posts, I come across some great pics on Google Images. Yes, this one is not too shocking. Many Christian churches and clergy have been fighting for equal rights within and alongside the GLT community for awhile now. And let me just note that the "B" is missing on purpose. I personally do not identify nor do I classify bisexuals in the same plight as homosexuals, lesbians, and transsexuals. Now back to the topic. Ah yes, some gays are Christian. So get over it!!
Yes, you heard me right. I want a banner that states "Some Gays are Christians. Get Over It!!" Sadly, inside a community so loving and so proud of their acceptance and open-mindedness there seems to be an upswing of anti-Christian and Christian bashing articles and posts on Facebook, Twitter, and such. I find it puzzling. Are all gays drag queens? Do all gay men wanna bottom? Or have sex changes? No, No, and No! We are as diverse as we are individuals.
It is in this same manner I ask not to be lumped in with or limited to an old school dogma and let ridiculous rants from snake-wielding preachers quoting from The [Jewish] Old Testament and not the [Christian] New Testament define me as a Christian or as a homosexual one at that. Further, I'm pretty loud and know no fear; so to those who wish to go toe to toe, let's.
Remember in the movie Pleasantville, the dark, shadowy folks want to discourage the masses from finding their inner music, inner vibe, inner being, inner self, inner souls , which eventually will connect them with the One True God through this process of becoming colorized. If our banner is going to fly for you and me then it flies for all of us; as individuals first and as a whole second. I am a Gay Non-Denominational, Evangelical Christian, and I expect to be accepted and treated just as anyone in the community would my Buddhist, Atheist, or Catholic friends whom also are homosexual.
We allow this one division to divide us now, then what real prospects have we made for the future? This Christian bashing hurts me directly and I would attest must hurt others within our community who we share so much in common. It is time we be clear about what we mean, what we say, and mean every word of it. Therefore, everyone knows exactly who we are through the friendship and networking process. It only gets deeper from here, and I want to know who my friends are as well as those 'not so much.'
Since challenges are such a big craze these days I ask everyone to take a silent observation of themselves and when the opportunity arises, hug a Christian and say I love you. Ya never know, friends have been made this way, or so I've heard.
Love you all. God bless!

**UPDATE** This is how God speaks to us and makes His presence and blessings known. Coincidences are not real. Everything for a time and season. My blog asked the gay community to hug a Christian yesterday. Unbeknownst to me God had already had the local GLT friendly church next to the dance club be out and offer free hugs and refreshments to all and anyone wishing to receive. What a sweet way for God to condone and bless the efforts of this blog, as well as New Covenant Ministries of Faulkner Road, Atlanta. God bless you guys. Thanks.
Ps. Thanks to all the loyal readers and those who have commented directly or otherwise. The blog has already hit over 500+ people in ten countries reaching from USA to South America and The Middle East. I'll keep writing as long a one (1) will listen. In Christ Alone.
