Tony Perkins is WRONG to call Gays as "abnormal" or on his Assessment on Why Gay Teens resort to Suicide

(Tony Perkins - President of the Family Research counsel - said the following about the rise in Teen suicide rates:  "These young people who identify as gay or lesbian, we know from the social science that they have a higher propensity to depression or suicide because of that internal conflict," he says.

Homosexuality is "abnormal," he says, and kids know it, which leads them to despair. That's why he wants to confront gay activism in public schools. For example, his group supports the Day of Truth, when Christian high-schoolers make their case that homosexuality is a sin.")

Tony Perkins does not speak for me, my faith or family. Some Christians forget that FAITH is a TOOL of love, compassion and service; not a WEAPON of judgement, divisiveness and punishment.

My take on that famous scripture (1 Corinthians 13:4)

Love is patient - allow people to come into their own

Love is kind - offer forbearance & compassion with our thoughts & words

It does not envy - do not demean what we do not understand about others

It does not boast - do not hype hype our spiritual superiority

It is not proud - approach serving others with humility

It is not rude - accommodate with love

It is not self-seeking - not placing your social or spiritual interest above others'

It is not easily angered - do not be vitriolic or bigoted; borne out of judgement

It is keeps no record of wrongs - offer grace for we receive it daily

Love does not delight with evil - do not take joy in the pain of others

But rejoices with the truth - we are all made in the perfect image of The Creator

It ALWAYS protects - reach out to our youth - accept them as God made them

ALWAYS trusts ... believe that God makes no mistakes; we are "whole" in His eyes

ALWAYS hopes ... a mindset that says: I can change; so others will gain

ALWAYS perseveres ... to Love & Accept people, unconditionally as God has
