God bless you for writing this! This is exactly how I have always felt about this topic, and I face a great deal of opposition from my rather conservative family. As Christians we simply have bigger fish to fry than to worry about two people loving each other. We have to help the poor, we have to spread God’s love, we have to serve God. Being intolerant won’t help us do those things.

How did I miss this when it was originally posted? You made me cry, Alex. Conflicted tears. Happy to hear this point of view, frustrated that it is not shared by more Christians. I want to badly to pass this along to my extended family, who send me almost-daily emails pushing their right-wing agenda. And I never respond because I don’t want to start That Debate. Because it will strain my relationship with my family. But I am beginning to feel that my silence is “sinful.” That I am not being assertive enough. Standing up for what I believe is right.

Thank you. This is perfect. We all need to recognize, Christian or not, that the bible has been interpreted and reinterpreted to support lots of terrible things that have happened throughout history. I cannot understand how these people can use their religion to justify hate – if you really believe that’s what your religion is about (and many Christians do not) why would you stay?

And I love the quote you left of His. I agree whole-heartedly.
Thank you for sharing.

And that's why I love you, and felt kindred to you from the beginning. Because I believe in love first, and love last. Jesus did not tell us to love only those like us, who think like us. He said, “I leave you with one another, now go. To encourage, to love, to uplift.”

I take that commandment to heart.
