And, we as Christians must speak out.

What does being gay have to do with any of the other issues you mention?  Nothing.

And beyond that...being gay is perfectly moral and proper.
It’s natural human sexuality. 

What we do not need is for some “Christian” people to treat gay people as if we are immoral, broken, sinful, dreadful, diseased, less than, demonic, depraved, deviant, or anything other than fully equal citizens of this secularly governed nation.

Sorry Dan, but Bible-believing Christians do not agree with you. Your statement is 100% wrong. But thanks for providing a great example of what was stated in the article:  “These folks want to redefine marriage, morality and acceptable sexuality.”

I don’t let you or the SBC define who or what I am nor my morality. 

It’s a secular country and not a theocracy.  We don’t adjudicate from the pulpit here like they do in Iran.

(indeed, it has done so to a great extent already) God bless and keep you.

Thank you, Sally and Richard for your work.
