Evangelical To Christians: “Stop Calling People Gay”

June 9, 2025 Christianists, Trump cultists

Everett Piper writes for the Washington Times:

Dear Christians, please stop calling people gay. Don’t you realize that by doing so, you are parroting the lie that our desires define us and that people can be pigeonholed into categories of appetites, proclivities, drives and desires? Don’t you see that your labels consign your neighbors to little more than the status of animals who are driven insatiably by their inclinations and instincts?

Believers in Christ, of all people, should know that people are made in the image of God. We are not dogs. We are human beings. We have free will in choosing our behaviors (sexual or otherwise), and thus, we are defined by our Lord, not our libido.

Are we defined by their desires, or can we rise above them? If we want to cheat, does that make us a cheater? If I want to lie, does that make me a liar? If you want to steal, does that make you a thief? Can’t we all choose to do otherwise and, in doing so, avoid the label and the judgment? No one needs to admit the defeat of just being “born that way.” Your neighbors are not animals. They are human beings.

Read the full blather. Piper, the former president of a Christian college, last appeared on JMG when he compared gays to ISIS. Before that, we heard from him when he joined a call led by hate groups for then-President Trump to legalize anti-LGBTQ discrimination. In 2022, Piper appeared here when he declared that “there’s no such thing as a Christian Democrat.” Of note, the Washington Times is owned by the Moonie Unification Church.
