Rod Dreher's Relationship Between Christians And Homosexuality

The first article was written by Rod Dreher, who is a senior editor of The American Conservative magazine. In this article, Dreher mainly expressed his opinion towards relationship between Christians and homosexuality. After Southern Baptist leader Russell Moore expressed his sympathy towards L.G.B.T. group in relate to Orlando event, a gay writer argues that unless that the conservative Christians change their minds about the L.G.B.T. community, the solidarity is meaningfulness. Dreher states that it is crude to attribute religious beliefs on marriage and other rights to hate by demonizing dissent. All those turns L.G.B.T. advocates into heretic hunters.

Christians in the church, is definitely expressing the similar view as Rodgers, they all pointed out the problem of L.G.B.T. group being demeaned to the second-class position. He holds a different view than Jim Daly, which he believes that the Christians should fully accept the L.G.B.T. community instead of part acceptance. I gained a lot of
