Christian responses to Lesbians : Negative

It is going to be hard not to generalise on this topic. All Christians are entitled to their own opinions and by no means am i speaking on behalf of all Christians.

There appears to be simply two main Christian responses to lesbianism. Those that tolerate it, and those that do not.

 Christian Homophobia

I'll start with the negative...

We have all seen and heard of the members of Churches wielding 'God hates fags' signs and spreading their homophobic message throughout the world, especially in southern America and Africa. 
 

There is a lot of really hurtful and disgusting 'information' available on the Internet from the point of view of homophobic Christians, it is incredibly offencive towards the LGBT community and Christians alike.

As you can imagine, the amount of hatred towards lesbians and the LGBT community is rife within the smaller churches, with the Internet being a hotbed for opinions to be easily expressed under the guise of anonymity.

There are far too many homophobic Christian websites to go into in detail, however, a religious tolerance website has complied a brief list of the main websites, including a summary of their content, in case you cannot stomach actually visiting any of the websites yourself.

After trudging through endless websites, i reached the conclusion that the majority of the homophobic Christian websites, much like their real life protesters, fail to provide a convincing argument. They choose to focus on anger and shocking statements, such as 'homosexuals account for half the murders in large cities'. Underneath the anger and brash vile statements, there are very few facts or genuine reasons as to why homophobia could be acceptable within the Christian church. Many of the perpetrators of the homophobia appear to have outrageous 'solutions' to the 'problem', including great ideas such as arresting all members of the LGBT community.

The hatred towards the LGBT community spreads further than the Internet, and documentary maker Louis Theroux visited the Westboro Baptist church to discover their homophobia...

This is an extreme case of homophobia, and although not specifically directed at lesbians, it still shows the lengths some Christians are willing to go to to express their homophobic attitudes.

The lesbophobia within Christianity appears to becoming more prominent, either with those who are shocked at the actions of a few, or the few who are more determined to make their voices more heard. The question this raises is, will there ever be an end to the hatred and fear that some Christians hold onto towards lesbians and the rest of the LGBT community?
