I began reading and became entralled in your story. I know that it must be hard having such a conflict between your faith and your sexuality. Honestly the best way to deal with ignorant people that say hateful and hurtful things is to ignore them. We have all been ceated as equal regardless of our sexuality. I was raised Christian but I tend to avoid religion because my own beliefs on the subject are very different. I believe that all people no matter what religion, beliefs, or creed gain attain the afterlife. People that believe that you have to follow a certain faith just to make it to heaven I find to be ignorant and closed minded. I do hope that you do not let people keep you down or be ashamed of who you are. Live life on your terms, help others in need, and be a good person and you will go to heaven that is the key. I hope that this message inspires you to be who you are as I am! -MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457001.post-10045436039325450212009-07-21T14:36:14.244-07:002009-07-21T14:36:14.244-07:00There is no reason for you to be ashamed of you ar...There is no reason for you to be ashamed of you are and those Christians who want to condemn you don't understand their own faith. But it is your responsibility to remain chaste because your sexuality contrasts with sacramental marriage as God intended it. Your vocation as a gay christian is to live and love responsibly and chastely. All the best.

Don't feel that you need to change to be accepted, especially accepted by your God. Why believe and put so much trust in a God that doesn't love you for who you really are? Isn't he supposed to love all his children, why are you a bad person just because of your sexuality. It isn't fair that murders and child rapists can give confession and be accepted into heaven and into God's heart, but you can't because your gay. <BR/>You sound like such a wonderful person, and it hurts me to see that you are beating yourself up over God. Do not deny who you are.<BR/>peace and love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457001.post-25580116074498223542007-04-10T07:06:00.000-07:002007-04-10T07:06:00.000-07:00I was searching for the lyrics to Boston and I fou...I was searching for the lyrics to Boston and I found your page.

I sorry to hear you have to go through this again. You do have friends who love and care a about you that live close by. One thing I can understand because I’m middle aged is your past can come back to hunt you.

Not having the guts to leave his name and all. I respect people who don't necessarily mirror my faith and have a hard time accepting the whole gay-Christian thing. But people like this moron are angry and desparate losers.<BR/><BR/>I remember one time (not in band camp...lol) at a gay day event at Disneyland... some self righteous person yelled out to me... "Jesus still loves you" and I was so proud to find the courage to yell back... "Remember that when you get tempted to judge me". <BR/><BR/>And by the look on his face, I think he was taken back and realized that he wasn't being a good ambassador of Christ's love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457001.post-1159757013371037012006-10-01T19:43:00.000-07:002006-10-01T19:43:00.000-07:00Thanks for another great post!
