Related: About this forumRefreshing for LGBT - You're hurting me with your Bible - Rev. Dr. David Gushee
&feature=youtu.beRev. Dr. David Gushee Baptist pastor, Christian ethics professor and evangelical leader refutes the harm caused to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals, especially youth and families, by a centuries-old pattern of misinterpretation and misapplication of Christian teaching.
His words truly can make life better for countless LGBT youth and families who still may be experiencing such emotional, psychological and spiritual pain and trauma. For those who have individuals around them who remain conflicted about traditional religious teaching on homosexuality, please share these short but powerful remarks from Dr. Gushee speaking at a Faith In America community dialogue in Jacksonville, Fla.

there's no objective standards to go by...but I appreciate his effort. The bible clearly condemns homosexuality, and promotes slavery, etc. No getting around it. Maybe it's time to abandon this ridiculous book of mythology?
