Nick Schultz Guys, just remember this church does not represent Christendom. It's like saying Omar Mateen, represented all Muslims when he gunned down all of those poor people in Orlando. 99% of the church doesn't preach hate or any type of discrimination, regardless of what the media tells you.

Linda Roop Power absolutely Nick! Did you mean to say 99% of the church 'doesn't' preach hate?

May Ocean Not blatant "hatred" for sure, but there's still "subtle" discrimination in various religions toward LGBT persons, where we continue to be marginalized, ie: hate the sin, love the sinner-- that hurts. We are who we are because that is how nature (god/goddess if you will) made us.

Nick Schultz To tell you the truth, I feel pretty discriminated against these days, as a Christian. For instance, whenever there's a mass shooting in the States, everyone rushes to the assumption that it's a white male, Christian. Everyday I see at least one Christ...See More

May Ocean And Nick, when I posted the video, I was aware that the angels blocking the Baptist picketers were likely Christian, after all, they were singing "Amazing Grace". Their supporters, some of whom were no doubt non Christian, sang along, and I think that this "togetherness" is the silver lining in a very dark cloud.

Nick Schultz Absolutely May. I would have stood with them, had I been there. All those Westboro clowns do is create division and hate. The world needs more unity...

May Ocean the fact that you stepped up to the plate to speak up on my timeline makes me so proud and so glad that you're my son in law. Our world is that much safer because of you and all walks of other angels who do the same xo
