<P>What I want to know is why some Christians are so against accepting Gays and Lesbians? Don't they get really confused when they are suppose to love everyone and then try to reject and hate others? I don't recall Christ saying anything in the Gospels against Gay people. And if you follow Christ, would you not follow him, hence the name Christian. </P>

<DIV></DIV>>Dear Friends:
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>If I were a minister who'd just spent an evening teaching on "The
<DIV></DIV>>Sin of Homophobia" in a widely-advertised local lecture, I think I
<DIV></DIV>>might have refrained from publishing a not-very-funny or
<DIV></DIV>>well-designed homophobic joke in my magazine--unless I wanted to
<DIV></DIV>>appear both hypocritical and homophobic at the same time.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Doug Wilson, in the latest *Credenda Agenda:*
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>"The reason Episcopalians cant play chess any more is that they
<DIV></DIV>>have forgotten the difference between a bishop and a queen."
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Oooh. My side. It's splitting. There's just nothin' funnier than
<DIV></DIV>>calling clergy members by degrading and homophobic names. And since
<DIV></DIV>>Episcopalians are so well known for playing chess, it's a
<DIV></DIV>>particularly apposite joke, too.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Homophobia--it's a sin, unless you can get a cheap laugh with it.
