Thank you, Brandon, for adding some sanity to the discussion of my article. I truly appreciate your reasoning and comments to our friends who seem deeply conflicted over the power of productive human thought. Best wishes to you, Timothy J. Haskell (Matt’s husband) :)

Pete…you’re living in the past… you are enraged, because you are threatened, time to shed your skin and get current. Heterosexism= pathological belief that everyone can only be heterosexual… you sir are a disgrace to your profession… another bigot in 2012 ? Power of Christ crap…. yaaawwwwwn. We are not living in loin clothes and biblical times… time to put down your stones and stop the hatred… God is love, you are expressing hate and far removed from the authentic, altruistic expression of what that is about. You lack the integrity and grace that is love… you act from a self serving, overinflated ego, which is an abuse of your power and responsibility. News flash… read the article again… there is no debate..its over, so you can let go now… it’s gonna be ok. Homosexuality is a genetically natural, beautiful biological expression of love and human diversity…. I know it must be hard to accept the cultural, evolutionary paradigm shift that dismisses everything you have rigidly held onto and stood for, for so long… its hard to admit what you formally thought was right is unquestionably wrong…based on prehistoric, oppressive, wildly outdated teachings. The wall that divided east/west Germany came down 1989 (sadly it took that long), now it’s your turn, take down your wall… no one will think less of you anymore, in fact they will respect you for it… greatly. Homosexuality is the most natural, biologically handsome and loving form of physical intimacy a man can experience when deeply in love with another man. Signed: Homosexually not yours, Brandon. (for my husband and the love of my life….I love you Joshua)

Yea, seems like god only created self righteous jerks. Maybe a gay man or woman will marry one of your kids, just to fit in?

At what “church” are you a pastor, Pastor Macinta?

Mr. Macinta, you are completely and absolutely clueless in regard to the powerlessness of Satan. You should know from Scripture that He is a liar and the father of all lies. Everything that exists was made by God, and nothing exists except that He made it. Satan can only lie to us, but reality can only tell us the truth. Reality teaches us that gays are born gay. You believe that Satan lie is true and that he has real power to create and change things. That is the definition of Satanism! God did not make you a Satanist. Neither did Satan. You believed a lie, you do not love others unless it is easy, and you are alienated from people whom God created. These are great sins. The power of Christ can transform you and other spiritual deviants and can set your feet on Jesus’ path. He alone is Truth and Life. He commands you to love, and He commands you to be reconciled to us. You can be transformed into the glorious image that God intended us all to be.

Oh, I’m a pastor, too.

Pastor Macinta,

Please use my title, as I gladly use yours. Also, why would someone of your “sacred” status be trolling around a reputable gay news website? Do you have something to share, Pastor? I think so :) In any case, my name is spelled with two ll”s, please don’t let all of your ignorance shine through. Work on the spelling my dear sir. TJH

Mr. Haskel, you are completely absolutely clueless in regard to the power of Christ that has changed homosexuals and other sexual deviants into the glorious image that God intended all of us to be. No do you have any possible idea what the true Body of Christ (the true Church) actually teaches and proclaims and how it ministers to all sorts of people with all sorts of problems. And, no, God did NOT make the homosexual, thief, adulterer and so on. Satan and sin did.
