@01kwood If this makes you happy- God bless-- I am a Gay Christian. I too had a rough time early on in my life- trying to reconcile Gay with God. But now I am happily married to a wonderful man (7 years and counting now) I have a great career, we travel all over the world, beautiful home, and two wonderful pets (an Akita, and a Rat Terrier) So I guess the only thing I would I might note is that happiness comes from within, Gay Straight or other wise. All the best.

This video means very little. A Christian is also against lying, but people lie every single day. That doesn't make the act of lying morally correct, it just means that the individual that is lying is doing something wrong. Same way that this video just exposes a man for, what he himself would consider a sin, that does not mean that he agrees with gay acts morally speaking. Btw, i'm not passing judgement on gay acts in any way, i'm merely attempting to show that this video means v.little

I was just there to see Cher and Madonna.  That does not make me gay.

@jebeja but i doubt you do the same :). i am very positive that you are a kind person and that you also prove your loyalty to God by connecting more to the spiritual aspect that is said to locate inside of you rather than just the bible alone. which you have all my respects :). and I am extremely glad you are not extremely intolerant( well...intolerant at all). it is hard to find alot of christians such as yourself.

@jebeja and sorry.I admit it was a mistake on my part. as far as that quote and hte 'religious aspect" i truly understand what you are talking about. as far as I have been through ( especially coming out) i believe that the holy spirit/outer force/higher power protected me when i came out and helped me through understanding my feelings and that of the natural world. I know the bible is great and all but being attached to paper will never get you attached to the inner spiritual being.

@jebeja I'm sorry. if it is what I feel and believe that you want to hear, here it is. I believe God IS okay with gays and lesbians. i, such as yourself, thought that it was wrong. but you know. there are people that choose to be single and celibate and no one gets them the bad glare or " it is wrong" look. If two people want to be together and love then I believe it is God-sent. I believe that there is a guiding force( Holy spirit/God/ whatever it is called) that takes over our lives.

@jebeja well you know I did. I had an apiphany and I felt that something was lifted off my shoulders. a terrible pain that left me hurt when i denied this part of me. I highly doubt that the holy spirit wants us in pain.

@jebeja "Once again, it's a matter of the 'heart' with God. " well in this case gays and lesbiens are fine. they don't gather around the house of a handsome same sx person and bang on their doors asking to have sex. And I am very sure that most gays and lesbians want a loving relationship. I believe God finds this to be good, regardless if it is "nonprocreational."
