Please feel free to say whatever you want (well, within reason) -- part of my reason for making this blog is to hear all the different opinions I can. I did want to clarify one thing though. It is not the Bible I am disagreeing with, it is the various interpretations of the Bible that I am questioning.

I don't understand everything you're going through, but I understand loneliness, and what it's like to be looking at forever with no one because I felt like God wanted me to love a guy who didn't want me. I think the hardest part for me about that was that the Christians around me judged me for loving Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15429607.post-1124888309750663382005-08-24T08:58:00.000-04:002005-08-24T08:58:00.000-04:00Have you read "The Children Are Free" by Miner or ...Have you read "The Children Are Free" by Miner or "What the Bible Really Says about Homosexuality" by Helminiak?

I came to terms with my own homosexual attraction when I was younger - around 16 - and I think it must be bloody tough to be doing it when you're older, and when you thought you were more secure in your life (sorry, that might be a bit of an assumption).
