homosexuality, and to endorse homosexual practices such as gay marriage. A sister in Christ
recently sent me an update on the story of a Christian couple who ran a bakery. Aaron and
Melissa Klein operated a business in Oregon called Sweet Cakes by Melissa. When they turned
down a request to make a cake for a homosexual wedding, the lesbian couple sued them. Gay
activists then made the couple’s lives a nightmare as they drove away the couple’s customers,
and they harassed this small bakery’s suppliers until they refused to sell to them.

The Klein’s also became the target of homosexual aggression, receiving many vicious e-mails
and telephone calls.

One emailer wished for the couple’s children to fall ill. Another expressed hope that Mr. Klein

The Kleins ended up having to close their bakery, and move their operation to their home. Yet,
homosexual selfishness, and mistreatment of others, is not limited to Christians. In various
reports that I have read as I have been researching this series, one fact that has often been
repeated in a variety of studies, is that homosexuals are frequently engaging in unprotected sex
with others. Many homosexuals know they are infected with a disease (HIV/AIDS) that has no
cure, whose treatment is expensive and the side effects of the treatment may lead to numerous
health problems, and the disease will quite possibly lead to an early death of the person infected,
but they choose not to disclose to their sexual partners that they are infected. This is the epitome
of selfish behavior.

Grossly selfish acts begin with lesser acts of selfishness. Over time the conscience becomes
seared until a person begins to treat others with an absolute indifference to their welfare. The
Bible states, “Love does no wrong to a neighbor” (“Romans 13:10). Homosexuals speak much
about being free to “love” whomever they wish. Yet, in pursuit of their unnatural passions,
homosexuals are causing great injury to others. They are spreading sickness and death. They are
preying upon youth and confused adolescents. They are precipitating an increase of mental
