“Judge not, that ye be not judged.” — Matthew 7:1
“Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” — John 8:7
My mom always told me I was going to be special. At first, I panicked—“Oh no, I’m going to end up a preacher.” But life had a different plan. I became a DJ instead. Still, her words stayed with me. One day, she told me to read the Book of John. She said, “You’re going to be like John—not a prophet, not better than anyone else—but someone who shines a light on the life and words of Jesus.” And maybe that’s what I’m doing now. I believe everything happens for a reason. If you believe in God, then maybe you were meant to read this. Maybe this is how He’s reaching you today.
It’s 2025. We know better. And it’s time to do better.
I’m not here to condemn anyone—but I am here to speak truth with love. I’ve seen too many so-called Christians bashing LGBTQ+ people while hiding behind scripture they barely understand. If that’s you, this post is your mirror.
Let’s clear something up: Jesus never condemned gay or trans people—not once.But He did condemn hypocrisy, greed, and religious pride.
Does Jesus love ALL the children of the world? Do you sin more or less than me?
🙏 What the Bible Actually Says
People love quoting Leviticus to attack others, but ignore that it also says:
Don’t eat shrimp (Leviticus 11:10)
Don’t wear mixed fabrics (Leviticus 19:19)
Don’t get tattoos (Leviticus 19:28)
Own slaves (Leviticus 25:44–46)
If you cherry-pick from the Old Testament to justify hate, you’re not reading the Bible—you’re weaponizing it. The New Testament—the teachings of Jesus—says something very different:
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” — John 15:12
⚠️ The Psychology of Homophobia
Here’s what science says:
Homophobia is often rooted in insecurity.A study from the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (2012) found that individuals who reported high levels of homophobia also showed strong same-sex attraction on psychological tests—often without admitting it to themselves.
"Homophobic attitudes may stem from latent homosexual desires combined with authoritarian upbringing or religious guilt."— Weinstein et al., University of Rochester
Other studies show that people who express the most hate toward LGBTQ+ individuals are often consumed by what they claim to despise. It's projection. It's obsession. It’s fear.
And history backs it up:
Sen. Larry Craig (Idaho): Strong anti-gay record. Arrested for lewd conduct in a men’s airport bathroom.
Pastor Ted Haggard: Condemned homosexuality publicly. Exposed for meth use and sex with a male escort.
When someone’s entire identity is based on judging others, it often masks something they’re afraid to face within.
🏳️🌈 LGBTQ+ History: Stonewall & Strength
You think bullying works? Look up Stonewall.
In 1969, as usual, the NYPD raided gay bars in NYC’s Greenwich Village and beat up gay people for fun. But this time, the community fought back—trans women, drag queens, and gay men stood up. That riot became the spark of the modern Pride movement.
It wasn't a party. It was survival.
And those you bully today? Many are freedom fighters—queer, trans, or allies—working behind the scenes in society, culture, media, law, and tech. You're not just punching down. You're punching against the tide of history.
💥 Secret Sins and Public Hypocrisy
In today’s digital world, your secrets can surface. If you’ve condemned gay people while hiding your own sins, don’t be surprised when the truth comes out. Jesus didn’t teach public shame—He taught personal humility.
Ask yourself:
Do I sin? (We all do.)
Have I ever judged someone I don’t even know?
Do I use religion to feel superior—or to love better?
🕊️ If You Love God, Love People
Jesus walked with the sick, the poor, the lepers, the outcasts.He didn’t tweet condemnations. He washed feet.
“Whatever you did for one of the least of these... you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40
If you bash the gay community, support hateful politicians, or demonize people who are different, you’re not walking with Christ. You’re walking with Pharisees.
💡 Change Starts Now
You don’t have to stay stuck in hate or fear. You can:
Get educated. Read real theology, not memes.
Become an ally. Join groups like PFLAG or volunteer at a Pride center.
Build friendships. Talk to someone in the LGBTQ+ community.
Look inward. Heal your own wounds before throwing stones.
I’m not perfect. I’ve wrestled with my own identity and faith. I’ve dated men and women. But I know this: God’s love is not small. His grace is not exclusive. His message is not hate.
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
🌈 Final Word
If you’re one of those people who say, “I hate the sin, but love the sinner,”—stop.
Worry about your own sins.Clean your porch before you criticize your neighbor’s.And remember this:
Love conquers all. Hate is a prison. And homophobia is not holy—it’s a sickness.
This summer, let love lead.Be bold. Be kind. Be free.Join the celebration. Or at least, stop the condemnation.
