![]() ![]() ![]() Archbishop Desmond Tutu of Cape Town once said with regard to South Africa's apartheid policy, "One of the ways of helping to destroy a people is to tell them that they don't have a history, that they have no roots." More recently, he described homophobic discrimination as "totally unacceptable and unjust as apartheid ever was." Unfortunately, it has been particularly difficult for some gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Christians to remain connected to identify with their own faith traditions because some of these traditions not only treat them as people of secondary status but also teach Christian history as though no people of same-gender attraction or opposite-gender identity had any noteworthy place in it and made no significant contributions at all to Christian tradition. ![]()
