MJSBIGBLOG www.mjsbigblog.com/laporsha-renae-respects-lgbt-doesnt-agree-with-lifestyle.htm La’Porsha Renae Respects LGBT, Doesn’t Agree with Their “Lifestyle”04/08/2016 BY MJ SANTILLI (From the interview...Renae Laporsha quote)"This is how I feel about the LGBT Community. They are people just like us. They’re not animals as someone stated before. (Ed: boxer Manny Pacquiao made those remarks. She would have sung the NA at his fight this weekend if she had won.) They’re people with feelings. Although all of us may not agree with that particular lifestyle for religious reasons–whatever the reason is. You still treat each other with respect. Everybody is a human being. We should be able to coexist with one another. I am one of the people who don’t really agree with that lifestyle. I wasn’t brought up that way, it wasn’t how I was raised. But I do have a lot of friends and a lot of people that I love dearly who are gay and homosexual and they’re such sweet, nice people. We should just respect each other’s differences and opinions and move on." LaPorsha just tweeted this (Srsly. Where are the PR flacks. She’s gotta stop using words like “life style” and “life choices.” It’s offensive to the community and to many others to imply that sexuality is a choice. Somebody needs to step in and coach her). La'Porsha~Renae @laporsharenae Apr 8 We don't have to agree with each other's life choices to love/respect one another. Live and let live. #RENAETION #RespectThatWeAreDifferent

Also learn to think for yourself. I bet she knows someone who is gay but they are not her friend.

She's just sharing her own pov. She never bashed Lgbts. She even said she has friends who are gay. Just doesn't agree with the lifestyle. Fair enough. Maybe her first pr interview. A bit tactless. But I dont think she well lose an lgbt following over it lol.

Sigh. LaPorsha just sounds ignorant to me. For good and for ill, our beliefs and perspectives are shaped by how we are raised and what we are taught as children. I don't know about the rest of you, but I was told that homosexuality was a choice, and an amoral one at that. Just like having sex outside of marriage was an immoral choice. And adultery. All sins. In my sheltered, mid-America, small-town world, I didn't know anyone who was gay. Well, I am sure I did, but didn't know they were gay. I accepted what I was told. I didn't know any better.
It was only after I was an adult, living in a cosmopolitan environment, meeting, working with, and being friends with all kinds of people.... including those who were gay and lesbian ---- that I was able to question my earlier teachings (conditionings), and recognize those filled with ignorance, dogma and prejudice.
Perhaps I was influenced by my dear, sweet, smart grandmother, who was incredibly, profoundly racist. I loved her dearly, but even as a child, I could recognize how flawed, hateful, and hurtful her beliefs were when it came to what she, at her most gracious and polite, referred to as "nigras."
I, sadly, know too many people who still firmly believe the crap they have been told about people who are LGBT. Good, loving, caring, church-going Christian folks who believe they are speaking God's will. People who say "Some of my best friends are gay" yet still staunchly believe their friends are choosing to be gay, they are sinning, and they are in some way, psychologically unhealthy and need help to "find the light."
Sigh. We still have a long way to go.

I.don't thinkn she is being.ignorant. She was just being honest imo. She diddnt give a typical progressive response. She gave an honest one. Polarizing maybe. But I.understand what she meant.When she said she was raised differently. It shaped her state of thinking. But as she said she now has Lgbt friends. Same with ME Adam opened my mind. It just seems anyone these days has a left of centre view on Lgbt. They are ignorant. I just think that needs to stop. I dont think Any of us have a long way to go. Unless wrre suddenly a gay man lol. Im just saying it is what it is. Lgbts May never be seen as normal.

Sigh. We still have a long way to go. Im.sorry but who's being ignorant now. Not all Christians see Lgbt in that way. Seems your stereotyping Christians. I'm sorry but you can't speak for me. Seems your generalizing Christians as a certain type. How is that any different to.what ppl do with Lgbts? Not trying to.start anything. But just be careful. Its a fine line.
