"Being portrayed as oppressed is best way to public sympathy"???

Now this is the reason why Religion and the state should really be separated when it comes to decision making. The church's principle is the ruling standards of morality and socio-cultural stereotyping.  Are we really oppressed?  Why would you look at the main stream LGBT people that you can see in the media and entertainment?

Anti-gay pastor arrested for public masturbation asks gay community for forgiveness

I was browsing Yahoo News and saw this article. I can still remember those preachers who kept on scolding us during the Pride March that we were sinners and we should repent. Well, cast the first stone if you are not a sinner. Hating LGBT people is a sin, and in fact, HATE is a deadly sin. :) Loving someone with all your heart is not a sin, it is a GIFT from God. It's just that, we love someone with the same gender as we do. And the social standards of morality based on religious beliefs and...
