So back around the time when I first joined Empty Closets I made a post about this site that said some pretty bad things about homosexuality. I decided to go to the link again and it turns out that they have now changed the site, with a lot of pages removed, however they seem to have even more homophobic things on their site now. Feel free to discuss whatever about the site below, your thoughts on what they say, maybe disprove what they say in what of the articles, whatever you want! They REALLY want to push that homosexuality is bad. What's sad is they used to have like two pages against homosexuality. Now they a lot more. Also, they used to be a church site but it seems they have taken all that away and have made it focus on homosexuality.

It's not the right thing to do."
Often I disregard ignorant 'arguments' such as these. I've met people like this, even live with people like this, and the unfounded prejudice never ceases to astound me. There is no sense arguing with them, let alone allowing ourselves to be bothered by them. I was told just today by an acquaintance of mine, how they disliked California because they didn't like "the gays" and, worse, "the transgenders." They said in the country they were from being gay was rare and bad enough, while trans was unheard of. Essentially this person was of the mindset that LGBT is an epidemic and that somehow justifies hatred and digust. This person then proceeded to buy me a drink, not knowing they are buying a drink for a person who is both gay and trans. Irony. You will always meet people who, honestly, have no clue what they're talking about. Whether it is hate or just willful ignorance, all we can do is overcome it by living well, educating those around us with proper information, and trying to live in kindness despite it.
There's a lot of stupidity, bigotry and hatred on the web. I generally try to put my energy into the more positive places on the web.
Sadly it is so easy to find stupidity, bigotry and hatred on the web compared to anything positive really. However I feel that EC is a really positive place and I am happy that I found it.
So my 11th grade English teacher and drivers ed coach who was very gay and treated everybody with respect was more of a threat to me than the straight special ed teacher whos #ick I can still remember against my cheek at 7 years old was? Where does all this hate come from? Only God can judge his children! I hope all the haters some day feel his wrath!
All ya'll saying "ignore the bad arguments like this" but I like to laugh at them because they are so ridiculous.
I just look at these homophobes and I actually think it's really sad that they are so unhappy that they have to attack others who actually might be happy people. Like I never feel bad for them because they are so stupid and they are insulting intelligent people. They are also promoting hate against us. Well I laugh at their stupidity.
Who is that person with that amazing signature here ? I forgot who Dont judge me for sinning differently then you do ! What about wearing mixed fiber clothing, (not supposed to) GGgGggg those people , really...what do they do to improve the world.

Dont succumb to the hatred. Forgiveness does not mean bowing down to others who have wronged you . . . It means not letting negative feeling toward the wrongdoing increase fear and distance . . . Forgiveness is a sign of strength. Anger is a sign of weakness.” Dalai Lama
"Kids who are overweight are sometimes bullied, too. And we might want to make that person feel better. But it would be a mistake to say that overeating is a good thing, right?" Wow they even managed to fit body shaming in there as well.
It's ignorant rubbish and we need to see it for what it is. Meanwhile, people who have embraced the true essence of Christianity will continue to support and positively welcome the LGBT+ community.
