Comments on: Mitchell Gold: Religion-Based Bigotry Our Biggest Obstacle http://www.truthwinsout.org/blog/2009/10/4322/ Fighting antigay lies and the ex-gay myth Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:13:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mark Zamen http://www.truthwinsout.org/blog/2009/10/4322/comment-page-1/#comment-13843 Mark Zamen Mon, 12 Oct 2009 21:44:31 +0000 http://www.truthwinsout.org/?p=4322#comment-13843 This post is very good: accurate, thoughtful, feeling, and well expressed. Religion has caused an immense amount of suffering throughout history and no doubt contributes heavily to the prejudice that remains against homosexuals. The sad truth is that a large segment of society still regards gay men and women as second-class citizens -- or worse. That is the salient point of my recently released biographical novel, Broken Saint. It is based on my forty-year friendship with a gay Mormon man, and chronicles his internal and external struggles as he battles for acceptance (of himself and by others, including co-religionists).

Our Constitution says, "All men were created equal." It DOESN'T say, "Except for homosexuals, bisexuals and transgendered people." Also, for those true believers, if God created man in his own image, then a part of God must also be gay!

Also, for those true believers, if God created man in his own image, then a part of God must also be gay!
