I'm Christian, Unless You're Gay.

"Today’s post is not about homosexuality. It’s not about Christians. It’s not about religion. It’s not about politics. It’s about something else altogether. Something greater. Something simpler.
It’s about love.
It’s about kindness.
It’s about friendship"

These words taken from a blog post by by Dan Pearce.  I really encourage you click here to go over and read it. (opens in new window)  It's long, in places it may be uncomfortable, but I think he's hit the nail on the head about how we show love for one another.

There is a part of me woud like to publicly read Dan's post as a sermon on the theme of love.  

As the post goes on to show, if you take out gay, and replace it with someone developing an adiction or mental illness, it's amazing how their friends fall away.  And yes, I've  been guilty of this in the past myself.

Showing Christ's love isn't about tollerance for people that are in some way different to us.  Tollerance is pretty insulting and condescending.  Tollerance places conditions on love.  On the day that Christ showed his absolute love for us, right up to the end, this is when we need to show absolute, unconditional love.

Otherwise, we are missing the point.
