Apart from the Uniting Church in Australia and the Episcopalian Church in America few Churches accept gay and lesbian people as full members and candidates for leadership, ministry, and marriage.
So the gay issue is still very much alive.
The Anglican Church in England and the Catholic Church of Rome still stigmatize and ban gay sexual expression.
And the Fundamentalist and Evangelical Churches of the United States are still mired in homophobia.
So the persecution of gays and lesbians by religious people is still a vital issue.
God does not hate homosexuals.
God loves us as a father and mother love their gay sons and daughters.
So there is more work to do to free gay people from oppression and torture.
Several countries in Europe and many states in America are bringing in anti-gay laws.
These are hateful and ignorant incentives to repress and silence homosexuality.
We cannot stand by and allow them to pass.
And so I continue to state that God loves gay men and lesbian women.
And we will be welcomed in Heaven when we die!
