Prop 8 overturned.. now what?

One of the recent events within our state has been the overturn of Proposition 8, which stated that marriage was between a man and a woman. Biblically this is a sound law, morally right, but socially unaccepted. It has been seen as bigoted, prejudice and altogether hateful. In light of Prop 8 being overruled, many people are overjoyed, but as Christians, how are we to respond?

To address this Kevin DeYoung's posted several specifics, here are a couple stood out to me:

5. We must not be afraid to talk about homosexuality. Don’t be silenced by Christians calling for umpteen more years of dialogue or those who say you need at least one gay friend before you can open your mouth. The Bible speaks openly about sexuality and we must not be embarrassed to open God’s word. BUT when we do speak we must do so with broken hearts not bulging veins. A calm spirit and a broken heart are keys to not being tuned out immediately.

9. No gay jokes. None. It doesn’t help our witness and they’re not funny. Plus, the more we laugh at sin the more it gets normalized.

12. We must be people of hope not despair. We know the Lord and he knows us. This is not the worst crisis in the history of mankind. Homosexuality is sinful, but God specializes in sin. Look at what he’s done with us.
