text: how can they be "christians" if they preach hate and discrimination? i don't understand how some people can call themselves "christians" when they advocate discrimination and bigotry against gay and lesbian people.  these are the folks that say "gay people don't have long lasting relationships" and then work their hardest to ban gay marriage.  if that isn't the definition of talking out of both sides of your face!  i wish more of them would consider "what would jesus do?" - since he never said anything against gay people, but rather "love your neighbor." i'd say that u r a little confused god told us in the sixth commandment not to commit adultry. he did say luv ur neighbor as your self but there are different kinds of love. i have never heard anyone in my church talk about gay ppl not having long lasting relationships. all i know is that being gay is against gods commandments and a sin.
