Many in the Metro Council congratulated themselves tonight for establishing local law solely written for those that practice homosexuality. Some leaders expressed a sense of relief that Nashville has "finally" shown itself to be a modern, cosmopolitan city as a result of this vote. I'm not sure how giving formal recognition and approval to homosexual practice makes a city modern. At least as far back as Sodom, cities have been known for having a contingent of citizens practicing homosexuality.
What our leaders actually did was start effectively discriminating against those that would speak for God. God does not hate homosexuals; neither should those that claim to follow His son, Jesus. However, God has spoken on the subject. Very clearly. So must Christians. Eventually, legislation such as that passed by the Metro Council must lead to laws against the expression of God's view. Hopefully, when that time comes, we will be able to say as Peter did, "Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God."
