This comment thread makes me so sad. As a very religious and Christian person I can testify that God loves each of us/you with no qualifiers! For all the scripture quoters, how about this one: John 8:7 "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone." I am certainly not without sin - just like every other human on this thread. Here is some free advice. Exercise compassion in and your honest concerns are more likely to be respected. I can truthfully say that in my personal experience with actual LGTB people, (including close family members, coworkers,  teachers and friends,) not one of them has ever tried to push "gay agenda" down my throat. For anyone reading this who believes religion is the enemy. It's not. It does have value to society. But none of us are perfect. The vast majority of us are trying to do what is right. I know that I have legitimate concerns, and I am open to the the idea that my concerns are unfounded and want to hear legitimate responses.
