It wasn't about my spiritual beliefs. I knew then as I know now that hating people is wrong. You hate the sin. But I was vehemently anti-gay. Wouldn't even waste a second considering the alternative.

I think the more people know gay people as individuals, the more they will change their hardcore stance. It won't change how they feel about the sexual acts. Personally, I really don't get it. But I also have been told by my friends that they find heterosexual sex disgusting. Really? That shocked me. Knowing my friends the way I do, they aren't lying. Why choose such a lifestyle in such a hostile society? For them, it wasn't a choice.

Do they believe in God? Yes, absolutely. Are they torn up by the fact that Christianity doesn't accept homosexuality? Very much. Am I a good Christian if I am still kind and loving towards gay people? I think yes. Does it bother me that this is a sin which it seems is hard to simply repent and stop committing? Absolutely. It also bothers me that any of my children could turn out to be gay. I don't want that for them and would move mountains to stop it. But if one of them did, what would I do? Would I stop loving them? Would I be comfortable in a church where my child can't fit in when I know that so many other members including myself are committing sins regularly?

So many questions....very few answers.
