What I think of "gay people"

The other day, Clint Heine of the Clint Heine and Friends blog launched a scurrilous attack on myself and this blog. When his first blog post was picked apart, he tried to make out that my reply to his false assertions was "frothing".

I really don't want to give him to much attention, as I think he enjoys it a little too much, however I do have to answer his accusation that I "hate gay people".

First off, I do my very best not to hate anyone. Every person has vices. My vices can be as dangerous to my soul as the unrepentant sex addict's vices can be to his. Vices that are not resisted tend to drown out any hope of redemption, yet that redemption nevertheless exists and is available to all who seek it. 

So, I think of the "gay person" as having sexual vices that they have succumbed to, that make it difficult for them to imagine any other way of being. I feel sad for them that this is the case, but also hopeful that God may work a miracle in their lives and maybe help them to hear His voice and take the opportunity of redemption when it is offered.

The unrepentant homosexual who is seeking to change the world into his own image so that his sexual desires are celebrated and victims are offered no matter who they are, I will oppose with every bone in my body. We are at war.  Just as in a war, you don't necessarily hate the opposing side, but will engage in an aggressive defence, because if the other side wins, you will be overwhelmed and worse, so it is in this war of ideas that has real consequences for this world, my children and our way of life.  To not fight is to give in to those consequences.  To say it's because I hate the other side is to deny those consequences.  It is to be blind and deaf and dumb,  and selfish, so that only your own desires and wants and needs are important and stuff everyone else.

Men are natural protectors.  When all is right in the world they channel that protective energy into their societies, their wives and their children.  When all is not right in the world, some will protect other men's rights to do what ever they want, in a perverse reverse of the protective instinct that should be directed towards women and children.  In doing so, they become predators, not protectors.

So we have the ultimate irony of a man (Clint) attacked a woman (me) for wanting a society in which men act like men, not narcissistic nancy boys that don't give a damn about anyone except for themselves and other men.  And so I have to become what is not natural to women, a fighter.  Which he objects to and attacks me over, rather than acting like a real man himself.
