Cover art for Fahrenheit lyrics by Five Iron Frenzy

not to be argumentative the whole christians being anti-homosexual argument certainly pertains but I think this song was just about being judgemental as a kid in those days the whole homosexual thing was considered alot weirder than it is today and he was just a kid making judgements "My liberty, like Christ's death meant nothing to me" then when he was older, and had a better understanding and desire to live in a more christlike way he realized the error of his ways.
