I have read many of Melody Carlson's books, both for adults and teenagers. She is an excellent author and I enjoyed most of her books. However, Color Me Confused, is NOT a book I would promote. The teenagers today are confused enough. The Bible clearly shows that Bad Company Corrupts Good Character! Although I agreed that we shouldn't be mean or throw stones at others caught in a sinful lifestyle: homosexuality is clearly against God and the Bible and I want no part of it for me or my children. We can love people without loving the sin. There is no reason to encourage the friends to do anything further with these homosexuals other than pray for them, and to remain available for help in the right direction. Encouragement in sinful behavior of any kind only esculates and encourages the sinner. The Christian parents were not portrayed in the correct light either. Trying to remain as a witness for these kids by involving oneself in their lives is a recipe for disaster as they become accepting of this lifestyle because they are nice and are their friend. I warn parents to read this first. I also didn't like the black white comparison to straight gay. The color of one's skin has nothing to do with their sexual sins! As you can tell, I feel very strongly about this issue. I have witnessed first hand the devastating effects of Christian teenagers befriending homosexuals.


Basically all he's saying is that interacting with gays is a matter for mature Christian adults to handle, so therefore he doesn't recommend the book.


Are you saying I am not fit to interact with anyone under the age of 18??????????

If you don't see why that quote would hurt my feelings, you are delusional.

The term gay has been related to prostitutes and brothels.
And being carefree,
Now homosexuals use it to define themselves, and people use it as a term meaning "rubbish".

You can't own words.

Black people seem to do a good job of owning the N word. They can use it with each other all the time. Even put it into songs but, god forbid a white person use it in any context. Then their a racist. It's all about using language to manipulate people's guilt and gain power.

I think (mis)using any word used about any group to express negative emotions, is wrong. I don't think it's over sensitive to react to it.

I have never used gay in that manner. And I'm not gay BTW.
It just seems that PC thinking often is my natural/default way of thinking. Making a word for a group into a general derogatory word makes no sense to me.


But if someone were to start a personal attack on me and say some vicious thing to my face, I'd have no problem responding likewise and use a derogatory word for something they are (whatever the case may be) to pay them back. It's got nothing ti do with my view on what they are, but how I assume they will like to have it thrown in their face same as they did to me.

Yeah we're past that now:

It's also used in the same manner black people used it, but ironically, as well as offensively regardless of colour eg: "My Boss is being a n****r and giving me unpaid overtime"

The meaning of words like this get cycled because bad things are attached (moral "wrongness" in the case of homosexuality, and racial "inferiority" with black people).
