Comments on: LaBarbera Award Winner Hagee Meets With Gay Supportive Group http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/06/27/12570 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Thu, 20 Jun 2013 05:00:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Christopher Waldrop http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/06/27/12570/comment-page-1#comment-43600 Christopher Waldrop Sun, 28 Jun 2009 12:16:29 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=12570#comment-43600 It's significant that it was the groups Soulforce and Atticus Circle that asked for a meeting rather than the other way around. While it's nice to say that it would be a good thing if the hateful rhetoric could be toned down, let's not lose sight of the fact that it's Hagee who's responsible for most of the hateful rhetoric. Is that going to stop? As far as I know Soulforce and Atticus Circle haven't spouted any hateful rhetoric. If anything they've shown a willingness to reach out. Is Hagee going to make any change himself? It’s significant that it was the groups Soulforce and Atticus Circle that asked for a meeting rather than the other way around.

I think that people who use the name of our Lord for their own vision are breaking the commandment. I am also breaking the commandment by interpreting their words. I guess some people just HATE gay people, or anyone who doesn't fit their mold. I ask, "Why would any church be anti-gay?" Would you want to be a part of that?

But I do not think they will change or moderate his views. And I fear he may try to use them for his own propaganda purposes. The ignorance and bigotry of folks like Hagee seems to be invincible.
