I hear you. That is part of what is ironic to me about this thread. Most of the people whom I have known who died from AIDS, and we subsequently found out they were Gay, were people I knew from my church or other churches.
And when you think of some of our most notable Gospel recording artists, it's the same thing. I'll never forget how shocked I was to find out about James Cleveland.
And my brother-in-law who lives in San Francisco once told me that he would never join Love Alive Church because it was a haven for "those faggots." Well come to find out that he has AIDS and has finally come out to the family that he has always been Gay.
I have also found that many people who talk the worse about homosexuals do so to cover up their own sexuality.
And just for the record, the only reason I have brought up AIDS is that it is what caused the "outing" of so many people. So before someone says that AIDS is God's way of showing his displeasure with homosexuality (which I have heard too many times,) I trust that we all understand that it is no longer considered a "Gay disease."
