Well at least that’s what you’d think after Pope Francis’s recent announcement that we should not judge gays. Growing up in the Catholic church you always heard “Hate the sin, love the sinner”, but that never really was exercised. It was always more like “Hate the sin, hate the sinner even more!”. Now I feel a sin coming on!  Christianity has long condemned homosexuality, but homosexuality has been a part of humanity since the beginning of time. And it seems priests have been caught with younger boys since the beginning of time. Now that’s condemnable! But I digress. With an ever growing shift in views on gay folks it’s time the church recognizes and includes gays and lesbians. The church has long-suffered in popularity from their antiquated views on almost everything. This is just one of the shifts they have needed to make. After all if God hates gays why did he make them so cute? Even most straight people know now that if you’re gay you’re born that way. So if God hates gays why did he make them at all? The fact is homosexuality is a natural part of life. It exists in the animal kingdom as well as humankind. Do zealots think a gay penguin just wasn’t loved enough by his father? Ha! I digress again. It is a wonderful time to be gay. To see the progress that has been made over the past decade. To see happy gay couples being accepted with open arms by their families, friends, and now the church. Anyone can conceive if God is love then God loves everyone. So put your electrified fences away and welcome the gays into your churches. If anything holidays will be more Fabulous!!!
