As part of our Southern Equality Tour, GMCW had just performed at the Pride Festival in Knoxville, TN. We were already on our buses, headed to our hotel, when we decided to get off the buses and confront these protestors the best way we know how-with music.
[Song: "Make Them Hear You" from the musical "Ragtime." Video: Dan Kaufman]

Only if you mis-read the texts to support your position. Religious texts have been used for centuries to justify everything from misogyny to slavery to gun ownership. "I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires." - Susan B. Anthony

So whenever it calls homosexuality an abomination in the Bible, it’s misreading the txt? Or in the Hadith where Mohammed says homosexuals should be put to death?

The Bible has never been used to justify slavery as there are no txts in support of it. As for gun ownership, the right of self defense is there for everybody, including homosexuals.

We don't hate you brother we love you we don't want to see you in hell man that's all it is. I can have a homosexual friend but I'll tell him straight up you know man if you don't repent you will be lead to hellfire and I'm telling you as a friend. He can think I'm being hateful all he wants like a child mad at his father for telling him he can't do something but there's deff. A reason we tell you this. Think about it, if our perspective was if you keep doing what your doing it'll lead to hellfire, we would simply be silent and sit back and eat popcorn watching you fall to your own ignorance. Don't be thinking we hate you when we don't. we see what road your going to and we love you enough to let you know that is all. Much love brother. You don't realise this kind of attitude towards the gospel of Christ is already prophecied in the bible your doing exactly what it was told you would do when it's close to the time of great tribulation we will be hated among all nations and we will be seen of as the ones who hate. Good will be called evil and evil will be called good, there will be lovers of themselves and hatred towards the Gospel of Christ. Your fitting the exact description of it man. We are not here to kill, we are not here to destroy, we are here to tell you exactly what God said would happen but no one will listen because they are too busy loving their own selves.

@@kayleesmith1268 I don’t believe in god, but going off of what the Bible says, god created humans in his own image. So if a Christian says you’re an abomination, or you’re going against god, the only person who could’ve created you, based on their belief, is god. So if you’re a “mistake”, then their god isn’t perfect. However, this goes against their belief as well, as god in their eyes is perfect and infallible. So, technically, you’re just fine. Blame society for telling you you’re not valid - by gods own admission, he created you as you were meant to be. Not how those around you choose to dictate how you are meant to be. Much love.

Good on you, GMCW! Reminds me of my first performance with the chorus in 1984 at the National Theater in DC. It was an evening of choral music from many groups in the area including a gospel choir and a children's chorus. When we were introduced, the audience roundly booed and hissed that (horror of horrors) gay men were going to sing. By the end of the performance, the audience was on its feet cheering. Music can change attitudes and change minds. May it ever be thus!

I have no idea if there truly is a God, but I believe if there is he isn't wasting his time condemning people who love one another just because they are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. Our country is beautiful because of all of our differences, once we learn to just accept everyone is different and unique and beautiful we'll all be much happier. I will NEVER tell a religious person they're wrong for believing what they believe, because that brings me to their level of judgment, something I ask for them not to do to me. I will be ok with or without their approval and so will everyone else. I love women, I love how they smell, feel, taste... Everything. I will always be a lesbian whether you pray for me or not. This song truly moved me and gave me hope for our community. We don't have to yell, curse, or degrade them back because when we do it proves we are everything we try to tell them we're not. apparently God doesn't make mistakes, he made all of us in his image, every straight person, black person, white person, Hispanic, Asian, and every gay, lesbian and transgender...

I consider myself a christian, and I believe there is nothing more christian than marginalized people standing up for their right to exist and love. The new testament speaks of love for your fellow man, for respect and decency in the treatment for others, for strength in solidarity against oppression. Even if being a homosexual is a sin, and I'm not terribly convinced it is, it wouldn't matter. Everyone sins, that's a huge part of being human. It was hypocrisy Jesus preached against, as well as greed and foolishness. I believe its the homosexuals and the marginalized groups jesus would stand up for today.

To be honest, any book that says anything to the effect of, "Murder gays, witches, other religions, etc" its a fucking horrible religion and should be abolished... I don't give a fuck if there is good stuff in your book too... there is some down right evil shit in the fucking bible... stupid fucking idiots believe that bullshit

@@abrahamo.4857 Your bigotry is so disgusting that it itself is a sin. You yourself are no god and NOT God. You, just like every other saint and sinner, are human. You as a human have NO right to judge another man, for that is God and Gods duty ONLY. And if you continue your awful, hating, sinning ways, you're no good as the rest of us. I know I should not be one to say this, But be happy we rather sing than throw hands because if we did, you already know what the end result would lead to. But pushing your hate aside and anyone else for that matter, I will tell you now that I pray for you, your children, and your children's children and wish that God forbid them to be as ignorant as you are. Amen. And have a magnificent 2020

Chojinshi I am not God. God created male and female and He said his creation was good. You are the one hating against Gods plan! You are the one making yourself a god by imposing your own standards against Gods own. And unless you bow the knee to the correct pattern God has created. You will never understand true love. You will be running on feelings and emotions(which flicker and are unstable). Ignorance is a man saying he knows better than God. And I am not saying that, I am following Gods plan. If you simply refuse to follow God’s plan because you think you are smarter. Then I applaud you for your the high ignorance which you obviously think is wisdom.

@@abrahamo.4857 I do not hate. I love my God. My God is mighty and in his name I pray that you understand that hating and judging others IS YOUR forbidden fruit. You don't have to appreciate us. You dont have to walk their path. You as the "saint" individual you are can walk your own path that you claim is the right. Leave others alone and keep your biblical opinions to yourself. At the end of the day, you cant save anyone but yourself. Now please go on about your day or night. May God bless your soul. And remember. Only God can judge us. Not you, or anyone else.

Why is it that religion causes so many arguments and world conflicts? For something that is was created to spread love and peace, it has caused the opposite in many situations. People who think homosexuality is a bad thing target and label these people with such crude words. "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." Yet, these Christians put the Lord first which I can agree with but you totally ignore the second part. These people are your "neighbors" and they shouldn't be treated any differently than you. Humans view their own religion superior over others when in reality, they are all focused on the same thing. Peace. But...where has it gone...? Great video by the way. 👏 This is actually peaceful and a great thing to witness. How people set hatred aside and work together to silence it.

Tell them! I'm a Christian, but I get so frustrated at the group of people who "claim" to be christians themselves. We need to treat others with love not hatred. There so many people who "think" that they're doing the work of God. “Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!" Matthew 7:21-23
