Gay Activists Target Christian Colleges
These Gay activists are working at the wellsprings to stop religious homophobic bigotry, and they deserve Kudos for their courage.
A group of alumni from Wheaton College have formed OneWheaton, an organization to provide support for the gay community on the conservative Christian campus and to promote the view that homosexual practice is compatible with the Christian faith.
“If you are a student and this is part of your story, your sexual identity is not a tragic sign of the sinful nature of the world,” a letter to Wheaton students posted on the group’s website reads. “You are not tragic. Your desire for companionship, intimacy and love is not shameful. It is to be affirmed and celebrated just as you are to be affirmed and celebrated.”
The letter, worded as a response to “a recent chapel message on Sexuality and Wholeness,” is followed with a list of several hundred alumni signatories—all of whom are either homosexual or support the campaign—with their graduation years and cities.
