As a progrsive Christian, I not only dissent om this evangelil “take, ” I sist that is not okay to be gay.

OKAY TO SAY GAY POSTERS

Sce the church has an anti-gay history, evangelils sist they have the “orthodox, ” “tradnal, ” “te” Christian posn. I have a better philosophy: “It’s not okay to be anti-gay.

” In this article I argue that the claims of evangelils to be biblil, Christian, and fahful on the issue of homosexualy are rooted human prejudice and cultural unrstandgs.

The anti-gay church are: • Unbiblil.
