Gayness should be a non-issue
Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—When discussion turns to politics or religion, it’s inevitable that someone ends up with a bloody nose. A debate can go on for hours without resolution.
Recently, someone named Rachelle Ragaza posted in her Multiply blog an article by a certain Dr. Patrick Johnston entitled “Convincing Reasons Homosexuals are Hellbound.” The article provided both scientific and biblical proof why this is so, and went so far as to suggest that “homosexuals have the IQ of sheep.”
Ms Ragaza is a member of Youth with a Mission, a Christian mission organization. She said she supported Johnston’s views because she “wanted sinners to be saved.”
In the few days the article was publicly available (she has since made the entry private), Ragaza received over 500 comments for that entry. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender/Transsexual (LGBT) community, and some straight people too, were very angry about the whole thing. The comments went from sensible and level-headed to outright name-calling.
