I on the other hand don't think that any holy text has anything to do with the hatred of gays. Let's face it, there will always be horrible people, who hate something so much that they are willing to go to any means to exterminate that which they loathe. In this case I guess it's gay haters that uses the texts as shields, not necessarily the texts as "facts" to reinforce their point of view.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
