Share Your Reflection



Good since it is not a new concept.

I wish I could say that's a relief, but I can't. The whole notion of gay conservatives makes me ill and uncomfortable. How BIG of them -- I'm sorry, but it's becoming exceedingly difficult in recent days to be tolerant of conservatives of any ilk.

I have a difficult time tolerating the attitude that the people who need to learn to be tolerant are those who oppose the views of those who claim to be tolerant. If you want to live the tolerant life, the burden of having to tolerate the intolerable is yours to bear.

Yes. Agreed. That's why I said that it was difficult -- meaning I am trying to bear the load, as you so aptly put it.

Oh, Why Oh Why is it so hard for folks to accept that two people of the same sex can and do fall in love and spend the rest of their lives with each other? Why do they continue to compare them to pedophiles, sado-masochits, etc.? Why do they look upon them as evil, evil people? Most of them are truly kind and loving folk. Having more love in their heart apparently than those who criticize their lifestyles. It is true there are "bad apples" among them, just as there are "bad apples" in the heterosexual people of this world. No, I am not a homosexual because I wasn't wired that way. But I believe God is the creator of all of us, and He loves all of us equally. And I believe that God judges us by the love in our hearts we have for Him and our fellow man, woman, child, not our sexual preferances.

Loving someone is not the only requirement for marriage but an ability to actually have sex is required. Sex is how men and women join together to create children not just pleasure ourselves. Sex is meant to be a Free, Total, Faithful, Fruitful act of marriage. Free-it should be without cost and not taken by force. Total-nothing held back. Faithful-exclusive until death. Fruitful-it bears children (also no contraception). One of the main purposes of marriage is to make and raise children. Without the ability to create children a homosexual relationship could never be marriage. Someone better then me.
