There is a poll on the CA to voice your opinion.
“I am gay, and I find all of this to be absurd and against the word of God as I know it”
Try reading it then!
She thinks it is silly, but then, it is not her decision. She wants to be accepted as normal, but homosexuality is considered aberrant by Christians. Life is tough.
Evidently she does not know "the word of God".
And none of the church members should have to put up with a player openly living in sin. That's that.
Exactly...as YOU know it. Try reading the Word. God will not distinguish between any sexually abhorrent lifestyles on the day of judgement, be it pedo, homo, bestiality or prostitution. They are all a grievance to Him. Homosexuals were prevalent even in Moses day, and God judged as he did because it spreads disease, endangers marriage and well, is generally a pain in the neck for stability. Life is tough, but the rewards for making sound choices far outweigh the negatives.
Saying that is sure not going to help her case in the inevitabe law suit she's going to file.
Quite the opposite.
“God judged as he did because it spreads disease, endangers marriage and well, is generally a pain in the neck for stability. “
I think another reason is that it befouls the illustration of man being made in God’s image.
She argues her lifestyle has nothing to do with playing baseball. The Baptists argue that team or coach implies the Baptists condone her lifestyle choice. Let’s look to the government to see how it treats any requested use of its activities or sites for religious purposes. What, even the whiff of religion is considered to unconstitutionally taint the government? Guess the Baptists have a point. So long as the government (and the gays) can get the vapors whenever there’s a crucifix, a prayer or faith reference, the Baptists have a right to refuse to associate with someone who disses their standards.
She could start an all dyke league. They could keep out Bible believing Baptists.
Ever see any men in a lesbian bar? They are not welcomed.
Try marching in the Castro St. parade wearing a clerical collar and preaching the word of God. If you are suicidal.
Sign up for the Alice B. Toklas Gay Lesbo Democratic Club as a Bible believer that likes to pray in Jesus’ name before meetings. See if they let you in the door.
So they will keep others out of their little gatherings. But they get to crash all of yours.
Good for them!
Isn't that sexual harassment?
What would have been a great chance to witness and profess the Gospel to that woman.

Yet another “Hate the sin, hate the sinner more” moment.
Can’t she just go play in the Methodist church league?
Why did she feel compelled to blurt out that she is gay? And there are other gays on the team as well. So yes now that the ‘knowledge’ is out there, Bellvue had to take a stand (imo). But I’m still trying to understand why she felt it necessary to blurt that out. Almost sounds like a setup. The ‘final frontier’ so to speak...break down the walls of the Baptist (we’re so non-forgiving and unaccepting afterall) and create another legal challenge that will have nationwide ramifications.
