Very sad

On another Facebook page it was stated that sex (heterosexual) outside of marriage is a sin. I had the temerity to suggest that this was not the case, nor was it a sin for same sex couples to have intimate relationships outside marriage. The anticipated avalanche of vituperative comments duly arrived along with the associated personal abuse.  

I know I shouldn't be surprised by these reactions from so-called Christians for whom the concept of love, and most certainly inclusive love, has escaped them at best or been rejected at worst. My overwhelming emotion is one of deep sadness that the message of Jesus is lost on them.

The bile I received has strengthened my resolve to call out homophobia.
