it's just sad all around...

It is sad, very sad. It's sad that these people can use God to force their own agenda onto others. I am a Christian; that said, I have the utmost belief in grace and in God's love for myself and for my fellow humans--regardless of sexual orientation. That these people cannot grasp the fact that there are things about ourselves we cannot change just flabbergasts me.
Homosexuals do not choose to be the way they are. That being the case, then they are what God made them. Who do these people think they are, to be able to sit in judgment of God's creation?
I hope that Zach comes out of this strong. Either way, he has brought light to an organization that does terrible things to people. Terrible things indeed.
