Romans 1:25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Last year I was talking with a brother in Christ and we were both wondering what the world has come to when all that is correct is now hated, when the knowledge of God is now being called hate. For instant what would happen if you and me organize a straight pride parade? I'll leave it to you to decide. I've read many celebrities offering apologies for saying what they think about gays and lesbians, I've seen them come under fire for comments, how often do people apologize for comments that offend Christians?
We as society have been molded to accept one way tolerance, I've seen movies where they won't offend certain groups, specially lgbt, but would have a field day making jokes and offending Christians, do you think they would ever make a dogma (the movie) style parody about homosexuality? certainly not in these days. I remember when last year Ender's game movie was going to come out there were boycott talks all due to Orson Scott Card's views in same sex marriage, what if a Christian group called to boycott a movie starring, produced or directed by a gay person? They would call it hate, no doubt in my mind.
Christians have to stand for what is right even though though the world now calls right evil and they call, and evil they call it good. What would happen if a Christian mayor subpoenas anything from a lgbt organization?
Don't be scared to stand up for what is right, remember Matthew 5:12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
