Something we already know...

[Chris James]

With all the flash points out there these days...specifically religious liberty and gay rights...I doubt if there is a gay person who doesn't already know that hatred stems from some deep seated mental issues.

So many societies around the world contain a large measure of homophobia. Not all of it is religious based but a great deal of it comes from church teachings, or at least that is the excuse. Bigotry in it's many disguises is oppressive and makes life difficult for those in gay communities.

From far flung African and Arab nations where homosexuality is punishable by death or long prison sentences, those societies have opted out of the group of nations who accept all their citizens as equals.
