5. Those passages in the Old Testament are not even really
about being gay. What they refer to is domination and rape, not consensual sex.

The only thing Jesus upheld from the Old Testament was the 10 Commandments and His commandment; Do Unto Others. That's it.

The "religious" based argument against us is nothing more than hate mongers who never even open their Bibles. They are people who do the bidding of megalomaniac political operatives in the pulpits. Those people preaching hatred are not the real deal. Never did God say He hated his creations nor did Jesus ever hate anyone or instruct any of His followers to hate anyone.

The reason I bring that last sentence up is this:
Those who use Christianity (or any other religion) as a method to dominate, discriminate against, hate, and abuse other people need to question who their real master is, because it's not Jesus. He never said to hate. What he DID SAY was to love one another.

I wish I could find Rev Cheesehead when she has some time. She knows how to explain it way better than I do. She's great to talk to about the Bible and she is definitely a friend to the GLBT community. I adore her. Y'all probably would too. I just haven't seen her around in a while. I miss her.
