“We recognize that the scourge of AIDS has been devastating to the people of Uganda. Measures must be taken to encourage faithful marital love and to discourage sexual immorality of every type. It is critical, however, that these measures be shaped in a just and Christian manner, and not in a punitive spirit. Harshness and excess must be avoided. Those who experience homosexual desire and yield to it should not be singled out for extreme measures or for revulsion. Homosexual persons, whether they struggle to live chastely or, alas, do not, are human beings. They are children of God made in His very image and likeness. They are our brothers and sisters. Christ loves them as he loves all of us,” – the late Chuck Colson, Robert P. George, and Timothy George, in a 2009 letter to fellow Christians in Uganda. Mercifully, not all American Christians are aiding and abetting the anti-gay pogroms and violence and persecution now cresting in the developing world.
