If it means that much to you, stand up and take a stand.

My little brother is gay. He's been told to his face time and again that he's going to hell for his sins. I firmly believe he'll have a LOT of company. We all talk a good game, but there are damned few people anywhere on this infected mud ball that live up to their professed beliefs.
I live up to mine, why don't you live up to yours? I think the problem you are overlooking is that this country is made up of many people of many different beliefs. Christianity may have been the basis but that doesn't mean that is the norm. Alot of people still do believe it and many believe something else.

Beliefs like love thy neighbors as thy self, judge ye not lest ye be judged
You don't have to be religious to believe that...
