Theological Journey - Gay and Lesbian Theology

What would drive me to the affirming view is the oppressive, shame inducing, conservative christian culture that loves to proclaim a traditional theology. I'm just tired of having my language constantly policed by straight people saying, don't you use the word gay. We must embody the truth of what god says about marite an sexuality in our own lives first and promote that in the lives of other aspiring christians. But we also need to embody the radical, scandalous, undiluted grace of jesus toward those who have been marginalized by the church.
