Hypocrisy abounds within LGBT fight for equality

The death toll in Nepal is over 4,000 people but we turn on the news and all we hear is “Bruce Jenner.”

The far left wants to talk about how Conservative Christians are hypocrites. While they who supposedly stand for love and equality ignore the over 4,000 dead in Nepal. The truth is that many articles regarding the LGBT (Lesbian Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender) community are one-sided.

The truth is that most Christians care deeply for the LGBT community. They want to reach out to them without dismantling the Bible they believe in. So the deeper, more significant question is, “How the LGBT community has effectively reached the world in a positive way?”

How have they, outside of their own agenda and protests. helped the needy? When the homeless needed food and shelter what did you have in place to help them? If your cause is about love and equality then what did you do when police shot down young black men?

Hypocrisy is not only among our Christian friends but the LBGT community. Hypocrites are everywhere. Are you one?
