Again Civil Comments wants me to make a one-word all-or-nothing judgment on a comment to this article.  I would prefer to say nothing than respond in such a simplistic way.
  
My response--I whole-heartedly agree that the violence and hatred against LGBT people should end--for the sake of the humanity of all of us.  Hatred is "not Christian" and hatred and violence hurt the hater even more than their victims.  
(Or consider for a moment the Wall that Israel is building around itself that is becoming a prison.)

On the other hand, changing laws does not change people's hearts, as we've seen with the end of slavery in 1865 and the end of Jim Crow segregation 50 years ago.  Social change is different.  It's a choice each person must make within themselves and it must slowly grow and become an accepted behavior of the whole community.  But also the LGBT community needs to consider that they are changing sexual boundaries--and no one has addressed this--yet.
