Today, I wore my purple shirt in support of this movement. I changed my twitter picture to have a purple cover. I support this movement to end bullying and hatred towards the LGBT community.
The Christian perspective on LGBT men and woman is complicated and extremely messy. I don't have all (or any) of the answers to the questions running through your mind right now. I may never have those answers. But that doesn't mean I won't still love my neighbor, who might be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. And it doesn't mean that God doesn't want us to still ask Him those hard questions. It also doesn't mean that he will give us the answers we are looking for (or any "answers" at all, but at least we're in a discussion. I'm not here to judge or be judged, I am here simply to love and learn.
Today is mainly about bringing awareness to the senseless crimes committed against LGBT youth and this is something I will always be against, no matter what my religion. I do not believe that ANYONE should live life in fear simply because of their sexuality. We are called to love one another and that's what I'm trying to do. Love.
