Open Letter to the Heterophobic
Everyone probably heard the word homophobia, but I’m writing to talk about the other side: the heterophobia.
Today I was reading the very-bad quality free newspaper called “South Sydney Herald”, that I receive as SPAM every month (I guess). I always have a quick look just to see what else they are saying about christians. They hate christians, specially the ones that go to Hillsong Church, like me.
Well, the first page was talking about some gay and lesbian people that went to the front of a Gloria Jean’s cafe to complain about their support to the Mercy Ministries. What were they complaining about? Well, they said that the Mercy Ministries separate woman’s couples.
I’m not writing here to defend the Mercy Ministries (even though I would gladly do it), but I’m writing to tell you how impressed I am with the heterophobia of these gay movements.
Look, if you are homossexual, please know that I LOVE you, as Jesus does. I hate the homossexual lifestyle, but I DO love homossexuals. And if I had a software company, I would hire you if you were good enough, independently if you are gay or not. I really don’t care if you want to have sex with another person of the same sex as you, it doesn’t bother me at all. I don’t mind if you want to get married with someone of the same sex. I don’t even care if you want to get married with 10 different people! It is your life, your decisions, your consequences, not mine.
Now, I DO care if you start to act as a heterophobic, complaining about people that decided to not be homossexual anymore. It’s the same situation: it’s their life, their problem, not yours.
And I also DO care very much if you send to my address free SPAM gay newspapers (as I received once), with not only text, but very offensive pictures. The editors of that newspaper are lucky that I don’t have children, otherwise I would sue them for sending to my house such material as that.
Really! You can live your life as you want, I don’t mind and I promess that I will not disrespect the right of decision that God gave you. But please, don’t think that being heterophobic will help, because it won’t.
Update:
If you don’t like Mercy ministries, ok, forget what I said about gladly defending them, because I don’t closely know what they do. But I also don’t believe in anything the Australian media says. They are much worse than the Brazilian media when it comes to making up stories (and the Brazilian media is REALLY bad).

É… antes nosso maior problema era a população conseguir respeitar pessoas homessexuais. Hoje, o negócio se inverteu, temos que fazer com que essas pessoas não culpem heteros por não optarem pelo homossexualismo… eehuaheuhau
É complexo!

You would defend Mercy Ministries?
Then you obviously don’t know a thing about how they operate.
No Christian in his or her right mind would defend them and how they are using God’s name to hurt vulnerable young women.
Get a clue.
And yes, I do know how they operate. I have a close family member who went there, and I can tell you here and now that Mercy Ministries is not what they claim, and they actually make young women’s illnesses much worse through lack of qualified treatment.

In this case, the Australian media (articles about how Mercy Ministries abused girls) were correct.

Mel,
Impossible. You can tell me they had some things that were a kind of true, but correct? No once convinces me that the Australian Media is/was/will be correct.
Correct is 2 + 2 = 4. Now, if you say that the Australian Media was correct, based on your premise, I can conclude that 2 + 2 = 27 is correct…

Cadu, the allegations of abuse were correct.
This is not a mathematical problem. If something is true, then it is true, and I can tell you for a fact that what the article claims happened at Mercy Ministries, did happen.
