I admire your sentiment.

As a side note, you are certainly right about the unfair anti-Christian attitudes held by some, individual gay men. I think, fortunately, that such claims are not made by any gay-rights organization — certainly not one of any size or influence. Perhaps I am wrong. The same cannot be said, quite unfortunately, of FOF or the AFA. While some Christians fear that their religion (or aspects of it) might be criminalized, homosexuality actually was, until quite recently, in fact criminalized, with quite horrific results. While the responsibility is, indeed, entirely mutual, the problem is notably disparate.

(I don’t mean to suggest that you implied otherwise, I’m just adding the above as my personal addendum.)

In the same manner some Christians make the mistake of believing that all gays are of the radical/atheistic/anti-Christian/antifamily variety.

Christians and gays alike have some responsibility for not making it clear “Christian” and “Gay “are not mutually exclusive or threatening, tat such extremists are not the majority, that most people are of the “live-and-let-live” variety — and that, with just a little bit of tolerance, we could and should make very good neighbors.
