So the other day the Prime minister of Zimbabwe Morgan Tsvangirai said something in support of gay people in Zimbabwe. That there should be something in the constitution to protect gay rights. There was an uproar and the debate is still ongoing on the permissibility of a man of his stature saying such on national television.
The debate is christian based with the root in Genesis 18 where the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of fornication and iniquity. The ones who are gay will be punished according to Deuteronomy 28. In my opinion people should just worry about their own salvation and stop worrying about what other people do in their beds or out of with their bodies.Whether you have committed a 'small' sin or a 'big' one, a sin is still a sin.
Whilst being gay is a choice (or not) that someone makes, it does not figure that they want everyone to be gay. Just as a woman can turn down a proposition from a man in the street, so can anyone turn down overtures from anyone who is gay. I have always been of the opinion that those who are actively anti gay are closet gays themselves. It is unchristian to judge and persecute. Unchristian to hate. Hating gay people because homosexuality is a sin is as bad as committing any other sin. Will you really disown your own child if they turned out to be gay? As a nation we have developed a culture of intolerance that is frightening. For a nation that is extremely anti gay the men seem to love the skinny jeans and metro sexual fashions that have gay origins. Think on it!
Love your neighbour. Love yourself.
