Au contraire. It indicates a bias that is the politically correct bias. What the homosexuals have done is manipulated the language to make a perversion appear good. This is motivated by demons. No Christian should accept the word "gay" as descriptive of homosexuals. It is a shame that the Christians of the past have silently allowed these homosexuals to hijack the English language and pervert the word gay.

Exactly, which is why we Christians SHOULD use the word sodomite as often as we can. We need to register a strong and negative opinion against homosexuality in our culture. It brings persecution against us just as it brought persecution against the prophets of old, but it is persecution for righteousness sake, which is a blessing in disguise as it purifies our faith.

I take the perspective that to follow Christ requires sacrifice and commitment. Who is willing to lose their life? Who is willing to die for Christ? If you are not willing to give all to follow Christ, then you are not worthy of having faith in Christ. You can only look forward to the wrath of God. That is my perspective. I'm not representing some club looking to increase its membership. I'm representing the Lord of glory who commands men everywhere to repent of their evil deeds. Peace be with you.
