Again, the stereotype that Christians hate homosexuals pushed forward by the Westboro Baptist Church is not to be taken seriously.
I live in New York City. I have plenty of gay friends, male and female. They know about what I believe, and they respect me more than some other people because I don’t call them “fags” or tell them I hate them.

Do some Christians preach at people relentlessly while they hide all of their sin away in the dark? Yes.
Do some of the most insensitive and ignorant people in America claim to be of the Christian faith? Yes.

I think people misunderstand the implication, not the assumption it comes with. Let’s analyze the view of some:
Assumption: Homosexuality according to the bible is a sin. I agree.
Implication: Therefore, we should treat homosexuals with contempt and anger. I disagree. There is no reason, biblical or extrabiblical, that we should put homosexuality in some sort of a separate category that...

Not only are statements like this snotty and reeking with arrogance, but they’re outright disrespectful and narrow-minded.

The offensive nature of an opinion does not determine its accuracy. If the opinion is empirically substantiated, it doesn’t matter how much it offends, it should be protected simply because of the fact that it’s correct.
If you’re home on Tumblr all day, your “profound” statements probably have no evidence backed up behind them due to a lack of experience
