Hi Alex. Thanks so much for responding to the article that I wrote for your behalf. I appreciate your kind compliment about the article. I have never felt attacked by you; rather, I am enjoying our relationship. Yep, I deeply love Jesus!
I share your wonderment over all the vitriol over one people group. I hope the pastor you referred to will be able to embrace how much Jesus loves him — even as a gay man. It is somewhat common for very religious traditionalist Christians who have same-sex attraction themselves, to loathe their condition. Thus they strike out against gayness as a psychological vehicle for “denying” their own sexual condition. Yep, even gay pastors can be homophobic about their attraction! lol
Thanks again, Alex, for your very uplifting words!
