The AIDS crisis inspired fear in the heterosexual religious community which caused them to judge and punish gay men who were already in distress due to the illness.
This when the compassion and love of Jesus was most needed.
And this fear still survives today.
Fundamentalist and Evangelical Christians persist in their condemnation and hate of gay men despite the fact that AIDS is virtually cured.
My prayer is that they will overcome their fear and open their hearts to gay men.
And that they will cease from using homosexuality as scapegoat.
