I had a band of christian mothers demand that my son be expelled from school because of the presence of myself with my partner at that many concerts and performances because it's a Fine Arts Academy. I swear to GOD they went all the way to the school board.
Do I hold all Christians responsible? No. Do I hate Christians? No. Want to know why? Because REAL CHRISTIANS would not participate in that kind of hatred. Unfortunately, this country is brimming with people who think that they are Christian while at the same time practicing a religion that in no way resembles the teachings of Christ.
Should I pretend things like this video are not prevalent in my life? I can't. But I promise that it doesn't mean I'm a God hater because I refute the hatred thrown my way.

That's so messed up, SuperFemme, and am sorry you and your family experienced such hatred and ignorance.
I am curious as to how the Board and/or school responded or resolved these complaints if you don't mind sharing.
