You know, like, homosexuality’s bad, okay?

I con­fess: I don’t know who Miss Bev­erly Hills is, nor do I par­tic­u­larly care.  I find her recent defense of her anti-gay beliefs com­pelling, how­ever.  Espe­cially illu­mi­nat­ing is the pause when she is asked if one can both be Chris­t­ian and gay.

I think Miss Bev­erly Hills’ response – or lack thereof – exem­pli­fies the  unthought­ful approach of those who would, in the words of Jesus, cast stones.  Per­haps if there were a lit­tle less con­dem­na­tion of oth­ers, a lit­tle more intro­spec­tion, and a lot more pos­i­tive action, Chris­tian­ity wouldn’t be “under attack” in this coun­try, as so many of my core­li­gion­ists would have us believe.

(And, yeah, I know, I’m cast­ing stones, too.)
