The discussion about heterosexism and racism based on Patricia Hill's article got very heated yet entertaing in class yesterday. Patricia Hill talks about how ministers in the church are always preaching about loving one another, etc. yet they are always bashing and judging homosexuals. The topic went beyond homosexuals, but this issue was discussed the most in class because some got a little offended. Professor Warren touched on Patricia Hill's views with a little of her own saying how some preachers preach about how homosexuality will send you to hell, or your soul will be lost if you're gay. She asked why can't be loving to homosexuals as well. Even though I was raised in the church and taught that homosexuality is a sin, I do not judge homosexuals. I have friends who are gay, and I love them just as much as I do others. They are human beings as well and who are we to say that they are not good enough in God's eyes. If we just stopped judging and crucifying people for being who they are, the world would be a much better place.
