According to one Christian thinker, it's time to get on the LGBT bus or be thrown under it.

Last week a thought occurred to me. I wanted to tweet it out but wondered whether it would be too incendiary. The thought was this: "It seems odd how confident we are that folks can lose their unwanted sexual parts, but can't lose their unwanted sexual attractions."

..

In his article at Religion News Service, Gushee fired a warning shot across the bow of conservative evangelicals and religious traditionalists. He writes, "[y]ou are either for full and unequivocal social and legal equality for LGBT people, or you are against it. ... neutrality is not an option. Neither is polite half-acceptance . . . Hide as you might, the issue will come and find you."

Yep.

That is what Hillary has said. That the full force of the government will come and get you. Neutrality is not an option.

As Bob Hope said, "I’ve just flown in from California, where they’ve made homosexuality legal. I thought I’d get out before they make it mandatory.”

Hillary also said she doesn't believe in changing hearts. She believes in government mandated acceptance.

LGBT Rights and religious freedom are not necessarily at odds with one another.

So, substitute 'religious' for 'LGBT' and throw it back at them.
