Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. (Romans 1:26-27, NIV)
Knox was very clear in her Facebook entries about the fact that she has family and friends who “practice alternative lifestyles” that she does “not condone or support.” Yet she does not force them from her life or withhold her love from them. Rather, she wrote that “Christ draws us all through a love so vast and encompassing that our human minds continue to fail to comprehend…it.”
It appears that the minds at GSE only hear “hate” when Knox says “love,” and only see aggression when Knox extends compassion. But that’s not Knox’s fault, and she shouldn’t be penalized for expressing her faith or her opinion, even if GSE is of the opinion that she should.
