Jesus, as well as Christianity, is tolerant of everything. However, as I have repeatedly stated before, we do not approve of everything. We are not going to ship gays off to the meat grinders or anything. If two people are homosexual, then that's their choice. However, we are not going to sponser or support that choice with such things as marriage or adoption, etc.

Umm, I'm a Christian, and I approve of all the mentioned stuffs. In fact, there are homosexual Christians.

As for Blacks vs. Gays in America...
Black Hardships in America:
-Forced removal from home.
-Enslaved.
-3/5ths of a person.
-Harshly beaten my most of the rest of the population.
-Separated from families.
-Not allowed to vote for long time.
-Justice system discrimination.
-Segregation.
-Counted as Property.
-Racism.
Gay Hardships in America:
-No marriage.
-Sometimes attacked by homophobes.
-No military service allowed? (Not sure about this one.)

Yes, it would seem as though blacks have had a more difficult past than gays. However, why can't they both be allowed to have an equally acceptance by society today and in the future?
Blacks won their freedoms, despite the still present racism and stuff. Why can't gays do the same? Interestingly enough, at one point, people were lead to believe that not turning in a runaway slave was a sin.
As for the list, I'd like to add that gays can't even have a family, unless they're lesbians and one gets artificially inseminated. And the intolerance of their sexuality counts is equal to racism.
(Geez, I really didn't mean to get another debate started. Oh well.)
Oh, and I must agree with Jacob, if there was some sort of way of telling a person is gay by the color of their skin, they would suffer exactly as the African-Americans do.
EDIT: This is directed at Neph's last post. Bad parenting? Come on... All of my gay friends have great parents... except one.
