You Say. I Hear.

Homosexuals should not be able to redefine marriage.

Marriage is valuable to me and you don't deserve to have it.

Homosexuals should just leave their private lives at home.

I will talk about my family, my kids, and my home life, but you should hide yours.

Homosexuality is an abomination before God.

You are wicked and sinful and don't deserve to live.

God didn't make you that way. He wouldn't do that.

I should be able to pray enough that these feelings go away.

Being a homosexual is something you choose. You're just confused.

I should be able to choose to be straight.

You can always sign up as domestic partners. 

Your relationship is not equal to mine and you should settle for something less.

Homosexuals are destroying society and tearing at the fabric of society.

You are horrible people who don't deserve to live.

I will continue to pray for you.

I will continue to judge you as a sinner.

You can continue to say what you choose, but know this for certain. Gays and lesbians are not going away. We're not turning back. And we won't allow anyone to continue to treat us as you do. We will be seen and we will be heard.

And your words? We will move on from them, but you will carry them with you for the rest of your days. Choose carefully.
