Kill the Homos?

Gay Christians in the Church of England recently gave the Archbishop a stiff Christmas message. Gay Christians in that church are angry about their second-class citizenship. Addressing the Archbishop directly, the head of the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement said, inter alia:

“You are also right to draw attention to the violent and sometimes deadly consequences to homosexual people of Church leaders calling us, for example, ‘animals’, ‘lower than dogs’ and ‘subhuman’ or suggest that we are mentally defective.”

We have not heard, so far, any hint of an apology for our hurt feelings, yet alone any sense of repentance for the torture, suicide and murder that are consequences of these dehumanising words . . . Where is the voice of the Archbishop of the West Indies, Most Rev Drexel Gomez, when many songs within the popular culture of his province call for the murder of homosexuals?”

You know, it is interesting to see how gays are fighting for rights beyond America. In Canada, France, Isreal, South Africa, among other countries, gay rights is at the forefront of the social political agenda. It isn't roses everywhere else.
