The ONLY people to blame here are the homosexuals who once again force their lifestyle and views onto ANYONE who shows a sign of weakness and the real christians had to fight back and not support a group etc that allows such things that go against their religion. This will continue until someone puts their foot down.
How the heck were gay people forcing their views on World Vision US? It was World Vision who wanted to create some Unity between Christians by employing Christians who were gay and lesbian. It was the conservative anti-gay Christians who had a spak attack and callously decided to cancel their sponsorships of 1000's of children to FORCE World Vision to reverse it's decision to employ gay and lesbian Christians.
"Real" Christians just callously discard 1000's of children to force a company to bend to their will? Really?
The ease with which these so called "Christians" discarded these children, probably means they didn't really care about these children in the first place. I bet they carried around pictures and boasted about how wonderful they were to sponsor these poor little children - that's all the children were useful for - making fake "Christians" look 'good'.
Jesus has a message for these so-called "Christians": It's found in Matthew 23.
How hateful can these anti-gay crusaders get? Their bigotry towards gay and lesbian people is more important to them than the lives of 1000s of needy children.
World Vision US said they would hire Christian gay and lesbian employees in same-sex marriages. In response, thousands of evangelical anti-gay Christians cancelled thousands of sponsorships for children in need.
"Last week, World Vision U.S. was at the center of an uproar after confirming it would hire employees in gay marriages. The charity, based in Federal Way, was started by evangelicals and grew to become a nearly $1 billion international relief agency.
Some prominent evangelical leaders condemned the decision, and several thousand donors canceled their child sponsorships over the new policy. Within two days, the charity backtracked, causing a separate backlash, this time from evangelicals and others who supported recognition for married gay employees.

That would be a really twisted interpretation of the facts.
World Vision US said it would accept Christians who were in a same-sex marriage as employees.
In response - Anti-gay bigots cancelled 1000's of sponsorships for needy children.
World Vision caved in to the bigots and reversed it's decision rather than see 1000's of needy children suffer because of the bigotry and intolerance of anti-gay Christians.
So, now you are a bigot unless you fork over some cash? It's like they expect people to pay for their approval.
Here's the thing, when Christians act in a hateful manner they will receive the same in return.
Remember that whole do unto others thing? It really does work that way. Treat others with hate, and you will receive hate in return. Treat others with respect, and you will receive respect in return.
By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles?
The people who did this will be known by their fruits.
How are they being hateful? They are simply withdrawing support from an organization that supports sin. They will give their donations to other organizations that need it just as much.

What is the difference in this, and A&E getting threats of monetary loss over Phil Robertson? So they booted Phil until it back fired.
What is the difference in this and calling for boycotting Chick-fil-a with threats of monetary loss, only to be shown where the support is.
What is the difference in this, and the Modzilla guy, with threats of monetary loss, so the shareholders boot the guy and now Modzilla is getting more blowback than it did from the gays calling for his head.
What is the difference?
Well I will tell you and as clear as day... All these pushes to go to war with anti-gay, has backfired. The bullies in the room will be confronted.
I think its funny that poster thinks 1 thousand people represent what 300 million people think. Maybe in liberal California or New York 1k people said those things in the poll certainly not in sane parts of the country though. Only bigotry I see is from the homosexuals who won't let a group be and do its work in helping children so they force themselves on to the group with threats of lawsuits or being called haters or bigots such as you are doing here and so in the end it makes the normal people look bad because they refuse to disobey their bible and what they believe to be the word of god and justify allowing homosexuals in the group. Again only people to blame are the weak owners of the group and the homosexuals for forcing peoples hands.
Where am I saying that 1000 people represent 300 million people? That doesn't even make sense. What are you talking about?
Gay people were not 'forcing' themselves on World Vision. There were no "threats of lawsuits" Where the heck are you getting this nonsense from?
You didn't even read the stories in the links did you? Classic
It's illegal for an employer to ask about marital status of a job applicant because it has nothing to do with job performance.
It's illegal to discriminate on the basis of marital status because it has nothing to do with job performance.
Why would any employer have a policy about the marital status of their employees given it has nothing to do with job performance?
