Of course, we True Christians™ knew this all along, but now the lamestream MSM are admitting it.
Liberal-biased "news" source:
Shockingly, the homosexual brainwashing is working on young false Christians, who evidently value their "friendships" with GRID-infected queermosexuals and feminazi lezbertarians over their friendship with Jesus. Of course, it doesn't help that liberal false Christians take Rachel Held Evans, who obviously either doesn't know or doesn't care about the proper role of Christian women, seriously as an "evangelical writer and speaker."

Could gay marriage debate drive young Christians from church?
By Becky Brat, msnbc.com
As the battle over gay marriage heats up in this election year, one evangelical Christian writer is calling for a truce, fearing that the outspoken opposition to gay marriage among some church leaders could alienate an entire generation of religious youth.
“Evangelicals have been so submitted to these culture wars for so long, so that’s hard to give up,” evangelical writer and speaker Rachel Held Evans, 31, told msnbc.com. But “the majority of young Christians really, really, really want to stop with the political emphasis.”

According to the same survey, nearly 70 percent of young Christians also agree that religious groups are alienating young people by being too judgmental about gay and lesbian issues.
“For young Christians, having gay and lesbian friends is just a part of our life,” Held Evans said. “It’s just really hard for us to see them as mere issues to debate, because we’re talking about our friends here.”

To Held Evans, American churches’ attitude toward gay rights will play an important role in the retention of young Christians. In an article she wrote following North Carolina’s recent vote to ban gay marriage, Held Evans points to data mentioned in David Kinnaman’s book You Lost Me, which shows that 59 percent of teens who were raised Christian abandon the church when they become adults. One of the main reasons, the article says, is the church’s attitude toward gay rights.
