Dear Christians: Please stop calling people gay
Don’t you realize that by doing so, you are parroting the lie that our desires define us and that people can be pigeonholed into categories of appetites, proclivities, drives and desires?
Don’t you see that your labels consign your neighbors to little more than the status of animals who are driven insatiably by their inclinations and instincts?
Could anything be more insulting to those around you? Believers in Christ, of all people, should know that people are made in the image of God. We are not dogs. We are human beings. We have free will in choosing our behaviors (sexual or otherwise), and thus, we are defined by our Lord, not our libido. How could any professing Christian ever suggest otherwise?
Don’t you see that today’s LGBTQ nomenclature explicitly embraces a broken ontology and anthropology and dumbs down the definition of what it means to be human? Are we the imago Dei, or are we little more than the imago dog? Isn’t our identity more than our inclinations? Are we “behavioral adjectives,” or are we human beings?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
