Being a Christian by faith and a Baptist by choice, I hold nothing against the Gay/Lesbien crowd. While I do consider homosexuality to be a sin and I don't condone it, I figure we are all sinners and God sees all sin as the same. The murderer is the same as the thief is the same as someone who rapes is the same as a liar and so on and so forth.
Should Gays/Lesbiens be allowed to serve in the military? Yes and openly at that. I served and see nothing wrong with it. If they are willing to die or more importantly, kill for my country, I support it, I don't care as long as they follow the rules. A Gay man is still a man so he can not wear a dress, lol.
Can a Gay/Lesbien be saved? Yes. Like I said up above, we are all sinners.
Don't hold all Christians as the same as those whack jobs over at WBC. They are the fringe and have bad religion, they have a bad teacher.
Oh, and I'm a Republican as well. You may not believe it, but I am.
