“Middle ground is disappearing on the question of whether LGBT persons should be treated as full equals”

    David Gushee, the author of the article “On LGBT equality, middle ground is disappearing” addresses the Christian issue on whether the middle ground between the LGBT community and believers of Christ can exist, he does this in a very pessimistic tone as if this cannot be solved. There is a middle ground between LGBT and the Christian community, it is that “48 percent of LGBT Americans are Christian”, says Pew Research Center in The Washington Examiner. This is almost 50 %, a substantial amount that would not exist without some sort of general acceptance . Many churches have made it possible for both parties to coexist together in a nondiscriminatory manner.   
    Gushee talks about how there is an acceptance of LGBT that is becoming rapidly “intolerant” saying “Institutions where full LGBT equality is mandatory now include any entity associated with the federal government, including the military and the civil service”. In this quote, mandatory is emphasized as if worldwide acceptance is a bad thing. I believe that Gushee is doing the Christian community a wrong making it seem as the “Christian way” is the new “Aryan”, although I doubt Christians want to be portrayed in such a way that is so looked down upon. 
    Gushee states, “ federal regulation any kind of discrimination against gay people will have the same legal rights and social acceptance as any kind of racial discrimination. Which is, none”, when talking about the future election and presidential candidates. To describe it the way he did, saying it would be like racial discrimination rights then he is incorrect, when looking at the discrimination laws @http://civilrights.findlaw.com/discrimination/race-discrimination-applicable-laws.html , nowhere does it state sexual orientation but it does repeat race in every law stated. So, to say that there are no racial discrimination laws is false but to say that with the new presidency there will be laws to protect LBGT against discrimination is not only correct but just, in giving people basic rights they deserve, not limited to unjust treatment because of judgment made by ignorant persons.

    The only thing Gushee says that stands true are thus; ”Those who believe LGBT equality marks decadence are being left behind” because, like the fight for racial justice, LGBT stands strong in the fight for their human rights.
