Last night, New York Times reporter Josh Barro tweeted out a disturbing message: “Anti-LGBT attitudes are terrible for people in all sorts of communities. They linger and oppress, and we need to stamp them out, ruthlessly.”
This is rather shocking. Barro is no angry blogger writing manifestos in his basement. He is a respected reporter from a prestigious newspaper that prides itself on equanimity in the face of heated debate. Yet he seems, by any reasonable measure, to be fomenting a campaign to rout all dissenters from the sexual revolution. Erick Erickson wrote a brief response to Barro’s tweet, to which Barro replied that he thinks that “we should make anti-LGBT views shameful like segregation. Not saying we should off people.”

“Anti-LGBT attitudes are terrible for people in all sorts of communities. They linger and oppress, and we need to stamp them out, ruthlessly.”
Sorry Mr Asshat. If you like perverts and support that you have that right. I have the right to not like perverts or support them. So KMA... Oh and if you want to stamp me out. Good luck with that because I will teach you what ruthless is.......
Hey, Josh! I’m an anti-LGBTXYZ kinda guy. Why don’t you show up at my place and stamp me out. You won’t even need six of your butt buddies to carry your coffin; when I’m done with you, all it will take is one guy with a bucket.
He could describe himself as a moon rock, it doesn't make it so.
By their fruits shall ye know them...
2% of the population will shun the other 98%?

Everyone has to shun, not just the 2% When something is made normative, everyone has to participate.
The godless are to shun, from the evidence, they seem to be in the majority.
Humans can attempt to redefine sexual morality, but that does not change what God has already told us.
For example in Mark 6:17-18 we can read that King Herod had John the Baptist thrown into prison for telling him that “it is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
In this case, governemnt was used in an attempt to suppress how God had defined marriage.
John the Baptist’s statement about Harod’s marriage comes from Leviticus chapter 18 where God defined lawful sexual relations. It is a chapter well worth reading. It ends with warning of God’s collective judgement upon Israel, and by extension any society that seeks His blessing. Starting in verse 24, God says:
“Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, for by all these the nations I am driving out before you have become unclean, and the land became unclean, so that I will punish its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. But you shall ... do none of these abominations ... lest the land vomit you out when you make it unclean.” (Lev 18:24-30)
Before you say that is just “Old Testament” and it doesn’t count, Jesus said in Matthew 21:32 that John the Baptist preached righteousness. Jesus also tells us, through John in Revelation 22:15 that people who practice sexual immorality will be excluded from eternal life. God tells us that “I change not”. If something is an abomiation, it is always an abomination.
here are sobering parallels today where government demands that citizens do not object to how it has redefined what lawful marriage is.
No, it is not about "acceptance" either. It is about celebrating their lifestyle. Thus, refusing to bake a wedding cake for two dudes is not refusing to tolerate; it is refusing to "celebrate".
It is no longer enough to "live and let live". We now must celebrate the deviancy. And, if we don't, they will destroy us.
Ten years ago, did you ever think we would be here, where people are having their lives and reputations destroyed, their businesses attacked, all because they believe in a traditional definition of marriage.
Exactly. John the Baptist would be vilified by today’s media for being “intolerant” and “non-inclusive.”
This is why I think we should call their agenda the homonazi agenda. It’s a very accurate and descriptive term.
