this is so sad. i couldnt imagine having 2 go thru this.

god loves you, and his grace is for you no matter who you are. galatians 5:4 -"those of you who try to be put right with god by obeying the law have cut yourselves off from christ. you are outside god's grace" , we are not saved by any action of our own - it is the grace of god, through faith " of all the passages in the bible that deal with homsexuality, why do christians who believe homsexuality is wrong, never speak to you of the other many passages about grace, faith and love.

What an eloquent expression of your story! I agree that people of faith need to "come out" too, in order to support glbt people, their rights, and the fact that we are all loved by God. This is a great series.
