To those of you that are angry with A&E for making the decision they did:
I don't believe that claiming homosexuality is in line with or leads to bestiality is a true testament of Christian faith but is rather a spewing of religion-based rhetoric out of fear for those that are different. I would like to highlight that I am pointing out the difference between faith and religion. Whatever verses you choose to preach to me out of your bible in an effort to propagate hate against anyone different from you, I would like to counter with the golden rule and ask you to consider that ideal first.
A&E is a beast whose sole mission on this earth is to make money. They made the decision they felt would make them the most money. Being angry at that is like being angry at the world for spinning; it is simply what it is meant to do. It may or may not have something to do with liberal media taking over, or it may have something to do with a company following popular culture and ideologies of the masses.
I don't think it was any attack whatsoever on the Christian religion but rather a censorship of a hurtful and seemingly thoughtless "free speech" opinion by a man who tries to lead a faith-led life... and sins on occasion. There are many homosexual people near and dear to me, and I do take offense at anyone implying they are anything less simply because of who they love.
Everyone is free to speak their mind (hence this post), yet all speeches have consequences. If you feel the consequence of my speech is that you need to de-friend me, then I wish you a safe journey that is blessed by a God of love. I am FAR from perfect. Because of that, I accept many people in my life with different opinions and different methods of expressing their opinion. This post is in response of a lot of anti-gay, hurtful opinions expressed to me and about people I love, not really about A&E.
