I’m very proud to be taking part in the Hop Against Homophobia Day
and to stand up for the human rights of all people, whatever their sexuality,
gender, race or religion.
I also want to stand up for heterosexual
Christians like myself who are 100% behind the drive for GLBTQ equality and
same-sex marriage - the media seem at the moment to be concentrating on those
Christians who are against the idea, and I think it's important for people to
know that we don't all think the same. I'm proud to say I've just joined the Lesbian & Gay Christian Movement in the UK
to show my support, and hope that other Christians will also stand with me on
this point.
As a Christian, I’m also very proud of the
fact that I’m a writer of gay erotic fiction, and celebrate love and romance
wherever it’s found. To my mind, there’s no battle between being GLBTQ and
being Christian, and the sooner the churches catch up with this freedom we have
in God, the better. Recently, the Church
Times wrote in one of its articles that we have much to learn about
equality, truth and justice from society’s approach to homosexuality and faith,
implying that God doesn’t always speak to us through the Church alone. Quite
right too!
