I can totally see this song being about sympathy toward a person coming out as a gay Christian. I've seen many Christians who felt like they found themselves when they came out and were celebrated in secular communities who are now persecuted in the church. They are people who were and are leaders, whose lives were considered almost beyond reproach in the community until they came out. Now, they are told they are wrong and that God hates them. There is no kindness, no compassion, no attempt at understanding. At a recent Ivoryline concert, the lead singer said he isn't here to hold up signs that say "God hates you" because that simply isn't true. God loves everyone...no matter where they are and what they are struggling with.
