In this video response people stop being afraid long enough to be something more. Embraced.

Recently there’s been a video making the rounds of people experiencing a first kiss and all the awkwardness that can entail.
In answer to that the Gay Women channel created a video that bridges a wider gulf, the distance of fear. They asked 15 homophobic people to hug gay strangers.
Watch this beautiful look at when two people cross paths from being opposites to being embraced. Is this a way to change homophobia.

Well said. Today’s pop culture in America is strongly biased against Christians, although it says little or nothing about those Muslims who object to homosexuality, for example.
Liberals are too scared to say anything against Muslims. It is much easier to attack Christians. They do after all turn the other cheek. Maybe that is why homosexuals like attacking Christians so much. ;- ?
Last thing, according to Websters dictionary “homophobia” is irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals. I don’t know of any Christian who fits this definition.
@ Courage, it’s a losing battle with this. I agree with what you’ve said. My oldest brother was gay (was=passed away) and I loved him like my brother. But it doesn’t matter what we think, do and believe as Christians. I volunteer with an AIDS group, delivering groceries to home-bound but it doesn’t matter because I’m labeled as a Christian and that in and of itself says that I’m a marked man. What I also find interesting is that when it comes to this issue, other faiths are not brought into question.
This is ridiculous. I have no ill will toward homosexuals. As a Christian I do not hate the sinner, I hate the sin. This is an attempt to validate what homosexuals do in the bedroom. I won’t do it. Homosexuals demand respect and validation for their life style, but do not respect the values of Christians or those who find the homosexual practices antithetical to their faith. Christians deeply value the sanctity of life. Fundamental to that deeply held value is the notion that the seed shall not be spilled except in the context of a life creating committed relationship.… Read more »
I’ve never met a homosexual threatening to kill someone for being hetero. I’ve never met a homosexual who told a hetero they were going to burn in hell because of who they are. Actually, I’ve never met a homosexual quite as self-righteous as a christian. forcing someone to live a lifestyle that you disagree with is disrespectful (what YOU are doing) Being indifferent and minding your own business over others who don’t live the lifestyle you agree with is actuall being respectful. (they are respecting you by letting you live your life based on YOUR religious beliefs) YOU are trying… Read more »
You are wrong. Kind of hostile aren’t you. I have stated my belief. You attack my belief because my belief makes you feel uncomfortable. Don’t base your world view on your limited experience. I have no problem with differences of others and with them minding their business, but what is this video about. It is about homosexuals exchanging hugs with people labeled “Homophobes” (today’s equivalent of bigot). Because homosexual practices are antithetical to my core beliefs I have to hug this person who is rubbing their homosexuality in my face. I am not hugging them because they need a hug… Read more »
