Methinks your anti-Christian bias is distorting the facts.
Matter-of-fact the gay and lesbian community in the US now enjoys the highest per capita income than any other group. Where is the discrimination? Also, the gay and lesbian community is protected by hate crime legislation which I am not entitled to. If someone kills me because they hate the way I look, there is no hate crime for that, but if the reverse occurs, I am subject to extra judgment. This simply means that their life is more valuable than mine. Think about that.
So much for "dehumanizing and delegitimizing."
It's time to grow up and get over whining about some phony victim status.

Hi Brother Ohio, so covert name calling is when you imply that Awareness is from a different planet and calling him a victim, even though he just shares different views from you. He probably surrounds himself with others that are different such as you and I do. But that doesnt mean he is from Mars or the future. He still lives in the era that we all do.
While I do agree that some countries physically jail and stone gay people to death and The U. S now legally supports gay marriage, there are still movements like preventing trans people from serving in the army, not creating safe environments or toilets (unisex bathrooms) for them. Christianity had a long history of discrimination, harrassment (examples: Stonewall and AIDS response to same sex couples, not legitimizing their relationships as a family member when one member of a couple wants to visit the other spouse/partner in the hospital at the death bed). Mental abuse and unacceptance is in some ways worse than physical death (an example of gays killed is the story of Matthew Shepherd). It’s a slower form of death, the person suffers from mental anguish, rejection, bullying that lead to higher suicide rates, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Take it from a sister who has first hand experience.
