One of them is a lesbian woman who came from a conservative evangelical background--"love the sinner, hate the sin" was what she heard as she was maturing into a young woman. She had a long and arduous struggle as she grew up and finally came to terms with her sexual orientation. Yesterday as she was passing out buttons, bumper stickers and literature, so many times as she was conversing with people she was assuring each one that God also loves the "homophobe". Her testimony is that she could only get to this place of peace in her life is because of her faith in Christ Jesus. What happens with these hate crimes is that they draw a lot of revenge and retaliation and copy catting, etc., etc., etc. but it is the people (in my opinion anyway) GLBT and straight who can get to this place of loving the "homophobes" who are going to help peace and justice for everyone to come about in our country.<br />S.H. in MIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
