Your View: Making sermons a hate crime

By Troy Kloster, Mankato

Should homosexuals be recognized by the state as married couples? The debate goes on, but there are two thoughts to this question.

One, as I have said before, why not recognize bisexuals and polygamists as well, as they too can claim they were born with their desires?

The second thought is that Christians probably do have some just concern, especially since President Obama has signed a new hate crimes law that includes sexual orientation or gender identity as a special group. Imagine your preacher Sunday morning preaching from Romans 1:26-27 or 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 and a homosexual perceives this as hate speech and then Monday morning the police are at their door with a warrant?

If you think this is not realistic I challenge you to watch on the Internet “Silencing The Christians,” a documentary about this very thing.
