equality for all

The LGBT movement is one that, like many others, cries for equality. However, no matter how much you yell the word equality, it's never going to become true, for both the LGBT and religious side of the coin. Some Christians might be saying "homosexuality goes against my religion, and I should have a right to express my beliefs." Maybe that way of thinking would hold up if our government was still running under Christian doctrines, but it's not. Christianity is on the downfall, and a new age of secularity is rising, and it's rising fast. When it comes to homosexuality and gay marriage, Christianity already lost, and those select few mentioned earlier need to realize that Christianity is the obvious minority, and their cries for equality will be heard by no one, or rather, won't change anyone's mind. So now Christians are left with a choice. One that will create two different groups, and has been every time an issue similar to this comes up. There will be those who stand firm to their faith and stick to what they believe, and there will be those that fold to the pressures of the secular viewpoint.  They will simply adopt this new principle into their beliefs as if it was always something they thought was right. However, even this group of "true" Christians still has problems. Because the Bible teaches to be against homosexuality, many times they will translate that into a hatred for homosexuals when it should be the opposite, having a caring attitude toward them. Those churches that teach that homosexuals deserve hell for their choices and similar teachings are just another rising Westboro Baptist Church, a hate group disguised as a religion. This is a direct connection to the issue with there being equality between the two groups. How can that happen when a portion of Christians just view the LGBT community as damned souls waiting for their punishment. Without understanding for one another, there will be no change, and in the end ''equality'' will just stay an empty word to fuel the people's propagandas.
