Christian radio host Dr. Michael Brown recently received angry comments on his Facebook page from a self-confessed gay who accused him of having "no moral values" and even wished for him to feel "the physical hate" of the gay community."

"I think it's high time Christians started getting beat for who they are. [Dragged] behind trucks. Tied to fences and left for dead. They deserve it. Filthy bigots," the angry critic wrote.

In an article for Charisma News, Brown writes that the comments hurt and saddened him. When another user asked the critic, "Why are you so hate-filled? Can you name something that a true Christian has done to you?"

The gay man replied: "My father, a Christian pastor, beat me almost to death and dumped me in the middle of the desert. Claiming [God] told him to do it. He spent the rest of his life in prison."

Brown says that behind the man's "seething hatred and anger" is a massive open wound that needs to be treated. The gay man's story might or might not be true, but Brown says it's clear that many from the LGBT community "spew venom against Christians, against God, and against the Bible" because they "have been wounded by professing Christians – by their words, their attitudes, and their actions."

Brown says it's important for Christians to respond to their anger in love, because it is the only way members of the LGBT community can find wholeness in the Lord. He is also urging people to resist the LGBT agenda with courage, and be reminded that behind their anger is a lot of pain.

"And as much as I am hated and vilified by many LGBT leaders, branded one of the nation's most vicious homophobes (among a multitude of other epithets, many too rancid to repeat), my heart continues to go out to them, longing for their repentance, longing for them to encounter the Father's love, and longing to see them come into the fullness of God's plan for their lives," says Brown.
