“I believe there’s Nothing Holy About Hatred. I am against homophobia, and the bullying, violence and damage it causes have no place in my community.”
We want to make sure the message gets through to everyone that homophobia does not belong in any of our communities, and to send a message of hope to those unfortunately still effected by it.
Are you against homophobia? Then simply:
1. Take the pledge: leave your name in the comment box below, telling us why you’re against homophobia. It’d be great to know your faith background too (if you have one) and any organisation you represent.
2. Share the love: Use email, Twitter and Facebook to share the pledge with others you think should sign up.
3. Show your support: you can print off this sign and hang it in pride of place in your home, place of worship, office or school so that all your visitors know that homophobia isn’t welcome there. Check it out in the NHAH campaign office!
I was raised Catholic, and became a Christian 12 years ago. I believe that hatred and homophobia goes against everything Jesus taught.
I am a 47 year old Christian, gay woman. I was raised in a conservative Southern Baptist home. Though my parents always struggled with my sexuality (to some extent), they were always supportive of me and my partner. My parents were shining examples of how Christians can love, embrace and support people with different beliefs, etc. and STILL retain their own faith/values. It IS possible. Nothing Holy About Hatrid.
Awesome Quote from Morgan Freeman
“Homophobia. Your not scared, your just assholes!”
I’m a Catholic and believe that being against gays is just like being racist: stupid:)
I am a Wiccan and one of the reasons I chose my religion is because there is no place for homophobia (or sexism or racism) anywhere in my life.
As a college chaplain, I have to work hard to detoxify the idea of Christianity for the students, and introduce them to Jesus who challenges without moralising. The hatred isn’t Christian even though it outwardly looks Christian: it is hollowed out and filled with homophobic bile.
I was raised a Lutheran. I was also taught that God loves and doesn’t hate. Why other Christians believe they have the right to hate a group of people they don’t know is beyond me. It’s not a Christian thing to do. According to the teachings, God will judge when our time comes – yes, God, not you. Isn’t it sacrilegious to take it upon yourself to do the judging for Him?
Despite of that, I do not believe that God would deny GLBT people access to heaven. It’s all about the person you are inside, not the person you sleep with.
I am a Muslim, and respect and honour all faiths around me. I am as happy going to sit in a Church for comfort or going to the Hindu Temple for a special colourful event.
I believe that noone can justify hatred under any circumstances, and the mere hatred of gays is just the hatred of difference. If God made us different in colour, shapes and sexual orientation, who are we to condemn and judge?
There’s nothing supercedes the command to love our neighbours as ourselves -even our ‘enemies’. The practice of love requires respect, benevolence and treating others in the kind of way we would ourselves like to be treated.
Jesus meant it when he said we should love our neighbour as ourselves. We should never demonise others just because they are different from us. I don’t believe you can choose your sexuality and discrimination should never occur on the basis of someone’s sexual orientation. Violence and hatred is not part of the true Christian’s repertoire. God is love.
Everyone deserves respect. Whether we agree or not on ideology or not, each person has value.
Hope, Faith and Love, the greatest of these is Love. Everyone deserves to be respected and loved. Have a Blessed Night, God Bless <3
We should love everyone,no exceptions. Simple statement, hard to do, worth the effort.
I belong to the United Reformed Church and I pray for the day when no young person is stigmatized for being gay.
I believe this one thing. Christ said that if we can’t love those whom we see, how can we love him whom we can’t see? That is the question. Love is the most important command in the Bible. I am a part of the Church of Interfaith Christians and the St. Philip Neri Archdiocese.
“If its not fair it’s not from God” progressive Muslim perspective.
I reject homophobia in any shape or form; all are loved by God d equal in his (or her) sight; all should be treated with love and respect

“do not lie with a man as you would with a woman” that’s okay. because I don’t like sleeping with women.
homophobia kills souls kills lives and is against the Jewish concept of pikuach nefesh .
As a Muslim, I believe that homosexual practice is a sin.
However I also believe that all people deserve the same civil right and are entitled to live their lives in peace and security, free from state persecution, discrimination and the threat of violence or intimidation. That is why I support Nothing Holy About Hatred.
Thank you for this campaign! As a Jew, I feel there is no place for homophobia and discrimination on the basis of someone’s sexual orientation. We all have the basic human right to choose our partners and to a family life. LGB people sadly do not yet have these rights universally.
We are each who we are, and thank God that is totally individual…Let’s celebrate that diversity! There is no place or justification for hating one another.
God made us ALL & said we were ” very good” – so who’s other opinion do we need ?!
i was not able to lose weight with other pills except P57 Hoodia Cactus Slimming Capsule.i used this for a month now. and have misplaced 9lbs. its alot to me, and i want to increase the dosage , i want to get pounds reduced faster and hope im ok with two .
For years i attended a fundamental xtian church but something didn’t quite seem right. as i got older i realised i didn’t fit in because there was no love even between the church members themselves. they treated each other without compassion, empathy or love. i didnt’ want to be a part of that, so i left. i love gay people because i know God made them and i trust God.
