I seethe NOT because my son is gay. I seethe because he lives in a country in which some elected officials find it politically advantageous to deny him dignity, basic rights, and protections. I seethe because there are people who preach hatred and discrimination towards gays yet claim to be "good" and "loving" Christians. I seethe because there are groups who claim to be "advocates" for the family but who work to do great harm to any family that doesn’t fit their narrow template for “normal”.

Nobody is born a racist
Nor is anybody born a homophobe. That behavior is often learned in church.

I've seen the hypocrisy since I was a child. I remember the day when I was in my thirties when I said "no more!". I stepped out forever from that world I was raised in. "If God is like this, then I will risk his wrath, because this is not me." I choose love, compassion, and peace, not the condemnation I hear preached and that's living in everyone's eyes. A prejudiced god, full of anger and jealousy. I don't think so! That is man's creation, projections of those who created him. I wish you and your son joy and peace.
