OF B&B'S AND BELIEFS

According to Mr Chris Grayling the shadow home secretary, there is nothing wrong with the Christian owner of a bed and breakfast place refusing to allow gay couples to stay under their roof. Secret recordings of his true opinion were made public in the Observer newspaper.
That's right. The party who probably will get in next officially believe there is nothing wrong with blind, thoughtless prejudice so long as it's done by a Christian against gays.
I used to be a Christian, was one for almost a quarter of a century, and I am also an out bisexual.*
Five years ago this coming May, reason and logic helped me giving up on my belief and for the first time since being seventeen I found I could be true to myself. I'm still enjoying the luxury of trying on different ideas and philosophies, of being able to think for myself. But I'm going to try and speak from a true Christian point of view, and say what would Jesus do?
Jesus, probably an invention of men, was said to have said some very radical things. He openly mixed with sinners and scandalised the great and good of his day. Going off this, I'd say Jesus would have allowed a gay couple into his home and served them willingly. He would have gently helped them see their lifestyle was not acceptable, but he would not have refused them room.
So why the superior, holier-than-thou attitude of a certain (female, I'm ashamed to say) B&B owner who turned away a gay couple, Michael Black and John Morgan, in Berkshire? What is Christian about rejecting anyone?
Another point; suppose you get a Christian couple, B&B owners, turning away gays and using this example to preach on the evils of homosexuality. And suppose the beloved child of these owners has just started developing feelings for members of their own sex? Wouldn't that child grow up with a bitter self hatred or hatred of the family, turning away from their faith and going their own way, or ending up a Christian, married and crippled unable to express themselves with repressed feelings for fear of offending the almighty god their parents preached?
What is it with Christians that cause so much division in the name of love?


*This doesn't mean I am a wild swinger going from one sex to another, it means that I can (and have) fallen in love and had relationships with members of both genders.
