Yup.. some of best friends have been gay..
Never bothered me a bit... what do i care what they do?
I judged them on being good people or not..
Thats what was important to me..

Some of my closest friends are religious....and I don't hold that against them anymore than I hold being gay against anyone.

Live. Peace.

Oh dear, let's not make assumptions about who is religious/christian and who isn't. this is a supportive thread. if you aren't christian enough to be kind, (cinidloo, i think you're trying to be kind) at least please be quiet.

Thank You Jesus im not the only one!

And hope you "People" know Gay is the english word for "Happy". And i never said God didnt love them. i Said i dont support it. and Im now getting PM's About This, I will have replys to your PM's.

It is not silly when people are being beaten and bullied and fired over it. Teens especially need to hear that there are many of us who will support and love them, and stand up for them.​

Every person is ridiculed and at some point in history MOST have been beaten and/or killed for beliefs, lifestyles, etc. Gay, Christian, African American, etc. etc. I am not saying it is right, but it happens. I no more support those who tease, beat, and murder, than I do those who make it a point to announce the thing getting folks teased, beaten, and murdered. Just sayin. I have gay friends and family just as I'm sure 99% of the folks on this board do. I just don't see making a big deal of it with a National day, and I disagree with the lifestyle. Had I been born gay...I'd be celibate period, but that's what is right for me and my beleif system. Either way, drawing attention to a personal decision of sexual nature...is lacking in taste IMO.

I try not to!!

I just saw a fellow Christian in trouble for a poorly worded post, and thought I'd jump in to get my black eye too while making a feeble attempt to smooth things over to avoid this kind of stampede

Guess it didn't work, but ehh...read my tagline. Maybe you will understand my "why" at least.

Aww....you love me!

e YAY! I KNEW IT!

[redhen]

I DO agree that folks should not draw attention to their sexual orentation..ANYONE..Gay or not...
Theres just no need foor it.. IMO
That i have to agree with... it IS kinda in bad taste..

I sure do hope that this thread can stay open. What a great way to show our love for all of our brothers and sisters.
