(1 Tim 5:8 NKJV) But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

We often worship the freedom of speech, the notion that all opinions are equalliy valid,  even those that result in grave harm. Anti-gay organizations are debating on the rights of GLBT when their own rights are not under scrunity. If we were to debate on the same level, then if gays can't get married, so should straight people. If we don't stand up for ourselves, who would.

The debate between Louis Marinelli (formerly of NOM or National Organization for Marriage, a hostile anti-gay group) and "Fighting for Cake", was an example of why we should be standing up against the anti-gay Christian groups, to take them to tasks for the hostile rethoric and lies being preached.

We may have gone too passive, in highlighting their rights for free speech rather than spending the energy to refute such lies targeted at our sole expense. We need people who would say enough is enough.  Here, the irony stikes me, Marinelli a product of a broken divorce family, a non Christian, blaiming gays for the breakdown of marriage and a key strategist for a Christian hate group.

Some Gay Christians have such an absolute notion of love, of free speech, but will use neither to stand up for what is important - their own basic rights and that of their tribe. Standing up may just be as simple as having the counter protest against NOM when they do their visitations, refuting online the claims of Christians in the tirade against gays.

 We fight because we have a sense of righteousness, the violation of God's basic moral laws of causing harm by those who put the innocent in spiritual and mind closets. When we start walking and standing up for our own, we begin to accept ourselves, love ourselves, and our delusion begin to break down.
