If everyone followed that, if everyone started to act according to that gospel, there would be no hate.<br /><br />Don't let the haters get you down. Live your life, love who you want and don't let anyone tell you what to do. God loves all creatures.

Because as far as I can tell, if you actually read all of the Bible, not just the parts that some loud people tell you mean one thing or another, God is all about love, not hate. And if someone is not a religious person, or of some faith that has a different doctrine than the Bible, why do they give a flying flip about what anyone else is doing that has nothing to do with their own activities? I'm so sorry that anyone is making you so mad and sad just for loving who you love. It's crazy. Great post. Stay mad until someone makes you glad.Mrs Condithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02480673824607892706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854697790604704675.post-9461583542962986442012-08-06T14:24:33.052-07:002012-08-06T14:24:33.052-07:00TJ, I use the word fuck a lot when I'm pissed ...TJ, I use the word fuck a lot when I'm pissed too. Someday people will look back, and little kids will disbelieve their parents when they tell them there was a time when the laws about who you could or couldn't marry and the attitudes about who loved who made as much sense as signs saying 'whites only' on a water fountain. Someday it will happen. And it will happen because of you, and me, and every single person out there who believes that, and stands up for it in whatever way they can. Keep hoping. Your hope, and your words are pushing us in the right direction.Cherie Noelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15857878847402931997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854697790604704675.post-82607955921273080562012-08-05T15:58:39.552-07:002012-08-05T15:58:39.552-07:00I know what you're saying, but things are chan...I know what you're saying, but things are changing.<br /><br />When I first came out in the 70s being gay was still illegal in Australia, now we have huge support from the majority of people and Tasmania is even working towards legalising gay marriage. There is still a long way to go, but things are changing all the time. The "love that dare not speak its name" has become a lot more visible and is finding acceptance everywhere.<br /><br />The opposition to GLBT comes from a minority who are proving themselves less and less relevant the more they screech hysterically. I think their hysteria is actually helping us in that they are showing themselves for the bigots and mindless haters they are and the majority of people just aren't like that.<br /><br />Just a thought...klausthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186494101116129651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854697790604704675.post-66324545420370636812012-08-05T12:04:32.884-07:002012-08-05T12:04:32.884-07:00This is awesome.

I pray to God that he will show the haters that He loves us LGBT folks as much as he does the rest of His children. I pray constantly that something will happen soon.Fred Towershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10639432929464470996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854697790604704675.post-63767991439562061042012-08-05T11:08:39.643-07:002012-08-05T11:08:39.643-07:00It's about time somebody took expletives to th...It's about time somebody took expletives to the next level in describing this. I raise my cup of tea to you, sir. Of the points you make, the one that sticks with me the most is people being angry that we exist. We've been here before, we're here now and we'll be here in the future. That's not going to change. But people are going to have to.Kristoffer Gairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00862202554700556478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854697790604704675.post-17659042871876535072012-08-05T09:16:30.702-07:002012-08-05T09:16:30.702-07:00I love this post.

Two, no matter how bad it gets, things will get better. Three, every experience, good or bad, teaches us something good and we grow from both the good and the bad. I believe this with all my heart and it's why I consider myself an optimist, why I've never considered suicide, why I have lived my life as I am and not as others would want me to.<br /><br />So thanks TJ, for this post, for your work, for everything.<br /><br />Doug StarrDoug Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823275578559143903noreply@blogger.com
