I’ve been thinking so much about the Biblical scripture being used against GLBTQ people as proof that Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered people are less than acceptable in today’s world, and clearly unacceptable to God. The Bible thumpers argue that God says these things about gay and lesbian people.

The link below is to www.catholic.org, so expect the tone of the article to be anti-gay, but it is a good read nonetheless.
