This is a compelling argument, presented kindly and passionately (though somewhat repetitively...but then, he is not a writer, he is a person on a mission to change culture). Whatever your story or background in regards to this issue--there can be no fault found with the desire to bring about community and grace and acceptance into the body of believers for ALL people. I grow weary at the thought of the hatred spewed by the church and people who profess to love Jesus towards LGBT folks. Jesus said love your neighbor as yourself. He didn't say "unless they're gay." Just do it. They're people who deserve community and love and grace and kindness, just like everyone else. Thought provoking, for sure.
