That's So Gay

The Ad council has poured some big bucks into their new "Think Before You Speak" campaign. I definitely understand where they are coming from. Discrimination and hate are bad for us. The Bible tells us to love. I get it. However, what if I replace stupid, lame, or dumb with the word gay because I really think homosexuality is stupid, lame, and dumb? It is sinful behavior. The Bible says that too. Right next to the love parts. You can have a genuine concern and care for people and not agree with our support their lifestyle. To speak the truth in love is not hate. To stand up for what the Bible says is not hate. Maybe instead of saying "That's so gay", I'll say, "That's so morally reprehensible". Or "that's so ungodly". Or "that's so not the way God intended for it to be" Or "That's so how could you do that to another dude?" I was just kidding about that last one. But seriously. Let's grow up and play nice. Call sin what it is...sin. Truth is truth whether it offends people or not.
