I won't change your mind, and you won't change mine. If you are looking for approval of the gay lifestyle, you won't find it here.

I know. There's a word for that.

One of the outstanding indicators of bigotry on the subject is the use of the term, "gay lifestyle," as if there were some set of practices that every gay person conforms to (of course that includes promiscuity, everybody knows that). Gay relationships have the SAME range as heterosexual relationships from the viciousness of rape to devoted partnership.

And those of you who feel a need to judge and condemn homosexuals are free to not respond to the valid points that many have made in this thread and elsewhere on the forum. However, hopefully you will not ignore the implications of your inability to counter those points.

I don't care what the author or any other Christian fundamentalists think. I'm a man, happily married to a man, and we've been together nearly 2 decades. We're a happy family, with our children and our church that has no issues with our relationship. And if/when any fundies attempt to "save me from my sin", I'll shut them down and have nothing to do with it. I'm intelligent enough to know what's natural for me, and what I did and didn't choose. I chose love, happiness, and a family over fear, self-hatred and religious nonsense
For your information I used to be a practicing homosexual as well. I used to go to a gay affirming church as well. Yet that was before I was saved.

Well you can go to church all you want even if every Sunday but going to church does not make you a christian. It is a personal relationship with Jesus as their personal saviour that is a christian.

Anyway Jesus has given me more peace of mind and I feel more contentment than any other man has provided. I am happy anyway now and do not wish to return back to the life I had prior to christian and even be part of the gay lifestyle.

There are no bible verses that affirm same sex relationships. Sure the law regarding putting homosexuals to death is not valid today but Romans 1 is still very valid today.

I have to wonder what you mean by "the gay lifestyle." I believe you indicated that you had never established a committed relationship?

Where does this arrogance come from that assumes that Gays want anyone's approval?? They just do want to be harassed, mistreated, discriminated against, or otherwise subject to whatever form of disapproval Christians want to foist upon them. Between approval and disapproval is a middle ground called "none of your business" which some Christians seem to be missing.
