AIDS is over.
HIV can be treated and it can be prevented using PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis).
But the homophobia which resulted from AIDS remains.
It has hardened into a snub-nosed hatred which still oppresses homosexuals.
And the last bastions of homophobia are sports and the Church.
Hard-line Christianity preaches that gay men and women go to hell.
And those who believe this feel justified in torturing and tormenting homosexuals.
Considerable progress has been made with the legalization of gay marriage and its celebration in some churches.
But a residue of virulent homophobia remains in most Churches and sporting clubs.
So pray for us.
Pray that Christians see the Love of God.
And realize His Love for gay and lesbian people.
Only then will the persecution cease.
