Some of the audio clips are great. I'd venture to guess the reason why 'confusion and turmoil are rampant among homosexuals' is because they were raised in a society that tells them there's something inherently wrong with them.

I'll never understand why anyone who would claim to be pro-life(thinking about the term in broad context, not in regards to abortion) would devote so much of their existence to making miserable the lives of completely harmless human beings. It's the height of hypocrisy.

It's so incredibly saddening that so many people actually still feel this way, about any minority.

Agreed. I would like to think us capable of moving past such halting ignorance, but we've yet to prove ourselves as collectively forward-thinking as we would like to believe ourselves to be. I see great strides in the right direction, but just as quickly I am reminded of great steps toward a hopeless adhesion to a pathetic past of intolerance and, generally, an unfounded arrogance of moral hierarchy.

Absolutely. In that same context, pro-hate (general intolerance, religiously based or otherwise) is pro-death. It's been said/spread across t-shirts/used to further both sides of these sorts of arguments, but...divided we fall. Divided we fall.

If you're reading any of this, Matthew...thanks again for your cooperation in putting all of this together.

Furthermore, my favorite portion of this film is near the end - the reverse motion of jogging feet really cements the purpose of this video. The deeper we divide ourselves, the harder it is to move forward.

Megyn Kelly of Fox News it sounds like near the end? What a fucking hateful woman, she is one of the worst.

Great--sickening--video.

i was quite sceptical about this video at first because of the title (this was before i watched it), but once i started reading the interview i understood what it was supposed to be about. i watched it and was very moved by it. thanks for posting it.

it was her and the bitch from westboro baptist church. i think that was megyn kelly's best moment.

[saysmydoctor]

I'd like to hear the full clip of it, if it is her. Because Megyn Kelly is no better than anyone else on that clip.

Thanks for reading/watching. When I first stumbled upon the film, I found the title bold - but perhaps in the wrong direction. However, immediately after watching it, I understood. There is no better title.

Good God, I haven't even watched that entire video and it almost brought me to tears...being a lesbian and being a Christian, it hurts me so bad to hear people say such hateful words and spread such vicious lies as if it is fact. As if they actually have any idea what it means to be gay in this country. It hurts to hear them try and tell me how I feel, to say that I am sad and depressed merely because I am a lesbian. It's outright bullshit and lies and what is even more sickening is that people actually believe this bullshit. That people believe it and can't put two and two together as to why some LGBT individuals feel that way or why they are so depressed. It's also painful and hurtful to hear people claim that the LGBT individuals are out there to destroy families when all they truly want is the same as everyone else. They want to love, be loved, get married and have kids and be part of this society.

I want to know what this has to do with Matthew 22:36-40

"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
