Would your attitude change if your son came out as gay?

What a great video by Tony Campolo. Here are some of my favorite quotes from the video followed by a few of my opinions.

"When you know this person you see beyond gay, you see beyond lesbian, you see a person, and you fall in love with a person. And that is what we need to do."
---> The church has missed this! The countless sad stories we hear about this or that church that kicks out someone because they are gay, or doesn't make a gay couple feel welcome. That is wrong and not the point of a church. A church should welcome everyone.

"We act as though the genitalia of a person determines his or her entire personality. It is an important factor, it is part of my identity, but it isn't my whole identity."
---> I agree. I think the problem is when it does become a persons whole identity. That is when it becomes an issue. For a Christian, Christ has to be their identity, so when their gender goes before Jesus this is a problem.

"It's the real person hurting, and I believe wherever there is someone hurting, there is Jesus."

"I love the sinner, I hate the sin.... That is the opposite of what Jesus says, Jesus says love the sinner, but hate your own sin. And after you get rid of the sin in your own life, then you can begin talking about the sin in your brothers or sisters life.
---> I have said this before, and I apologize. I need to focus more on my own sin before I go pointing out other peoples.
