Putting It Into Perspective

Via Box Turtle Bulletin…  The African anti-gay pogroms gain momentum…

President plans to kill off every single homosexual

Gambian President Yahya Jammeh says he will “cut off the head” of any homosexual caught in his country.

Addressing supporters at the end of his meet the farmers tour here Sunday, Jammeh also ordered any hotel or motel housing homosexuals to close down, adding that owners of such facilities would also be in trouble.

He said the Gambia was a country of believers, indicating that no sinful and immoral act as homosexual would be tolerated in the country.

He warned all homosexuals in the country to leave, noting that a legislation “stricter than those in Iran ” concerning the vice would be introduced soon.

I have a question:  Where are all the love the sinner, hate the sin faithful here?  Last week the California Supreme Court ruled in favor of giving same-sex couples access to marriage and Pope Ratzinger was Instantly out of the gate with a statement condemining same-sex marriage.  So were the usual suspects in the protestant religious right.  All the while piously declaring that they were not acting out of any sort of hatred towards homosexuals.  Yet here’s a head of state declaring that he will cut off the head of any homosexual caught in his country and the silence from the erstaz followers of Christ is deafening. 

Let me hazard a guess as to why: the thought of loving same-sex couples being allowed to marry disturbs them more then the thought of thousands of homosexuals being butchered by a madman.  They don’t hate us, they just want us gone.  It isn’t hate to believe that everything would be fine if there just weren’t any homosexuals.  It’s…love…
