Some students in McGuffey High School in Pennsylvania decided to write 'Anti-Gay' and put a picture of the cross on their hand to protest the Day of Silence. They also decided to show solidarity by wearing plaid. Then they came up with a 'lynch-list' and pasted things on known gay or bi kids lockers. I found a link to one of the little bastards mother, and some of you just won't be surprised at what I found. Everything can be twisted, but I really wish the religious would rise up and not let folks like this speak in the name of their faith. Those of you that are believers - can you read the below and not feel sick?

God is amazing! I've had the opportunity to meet the Christian teens that were involved with the events at McGuffey yesterday. It is so crazy how the Lord works. I thought I was meeting with one student and they were all there. I heard their hearts. These kids had noble intentions. They were trying to share Jesus with others. We talked about ways to share their faith in a gentle and loving way. I am encouraged by these young people. I'm thankful that God worked this out. We talked and prayed together. I'm humbled that the kids and parents wanted to talk to me. It's not everyday that a youth pastor gets asked by students in a real situation about what to do. They were seeking ways to share the Gospel at school. I looked these young men and women in the eyes, I believe they had love in their hearts. I encouraged them to simply live out their faith and share it with their friends in love. Only God could make a meeting like this happen. I'm so grateful to the kids for hearing me and praying with me. I'm happy I got to know them. Only Jesus can make moments like this happen. #Jesus
24 And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil,
25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth,
26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
2 Timothy 2:24-26
