LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Chick-fil-A not anti-gay
By Ryan Galloway | Apr. 13, 2011If Megan Bissell labels herself as an angry lesbian, I’d have to label myself as a broken-hearted Christian. Why? Because it sucks that our world breeds angry people, let alone angry lesbians, and it sucks that “Christians” often have been the least compassionate of all. For that, I’m sorry. Jesus’ message was uncompromising and offensive, yet the soft-hearted flocked to Him because of His supernatural love. I regret that many “Christians” don’t follow His example.
