I want to laugh at some of the remarks that homosexuality is a mistake.  Dear sweet Lord, what planet are you from.  Heterosexuality, homosexuality, transgenderism is not a life style, nor is it chosen.  It is who a person is.  It is unique as one's eye or hair color. 

What many people do not realize too is that gender identity and sexual identity are also two separate things.  An effeminate man can be heterosexual, and a very masculine man can be homosexual.  Gender identity does not follow sexual identity or visa versa.

It is high time that the Churches recognizes the mystery and uniqueness of each image of God.  We are variations of each other.  We are not made from a cookie cutter, nor is our spirituality.  The institutional Church needs to realize this and be inclusive, not be an exclusive country club.  The Church Community is a place of love and acceptance, not a place of ridicule and hate.
