Ok, so its not a hardcore embrace of homosexuals and their lifestyle, but it appears Baptists have decided on a new, improved approach to homosexuality. This article in the Tennessean spells it out.
"Members were quick to add that they still think homosexuality is a sin but they know they shouldn't demonize gay people; that they should, instead, offer "the love, the grace, the forgiveness and the healing of God."
As long as it doesn't involve sending their teenagers to camps like the Love in Action Refuge, which has gained widespread attention due to a young man named Zach and his experiences there. The Republic of T. weblog has lots of information and updates about Zach. Gladly, the state is now investigating the goings-on of this camp, so hopefully something will come out of their investigation. I really don't see how the U.S. is going to advance as a society until we stop seeing certain "minorities" as second-class citizens. I don't intend to rant on the whole thing right now, but such backwards views really drive me crazy.
