Gay.

Fundamentalist Christians maintain that gay men and lesbians will burn in hell.

I dispute that belief.

I am a Christian - a full member of the Uniting Church in Australia - and in my experience God does not discriminate.

There is no fire!

God loves us like His gay sons and daughters.

But firmly held beliefs are hard to change.

And many Church people still cling to these beliefs.

So it is my responsibility as a gay Christian to speak out against homophobia and prejudice in God's Church.

And to assure gay people that they will go to Heaven!
