It must be very painful for you not to be able to be honest about yourself with your parents. To have complete intimacy with them you have to risk losing them forever. That's a very personal decision. My heart aches for you. And yet, I'm so very grateful that you found your way to self-affirmation in the midst of that situation.

@blueray1969 Thank you for your commitment to finish the section. My work is driven by the belief that there is hope for humankind. We're all connected if only we would take the time to see that.

Sir, I am bisexual and in seminary. I have researched both sides of the issue and still do to this day. Your story almost brought me to tears it reminded me of when I took 90 sudafed pills it reminded me so much of my story. It's nice to know someone is out there like me. You havn't changed my veiws on the issue but you have atleast given me someone to look to and say his story is similar to mine. Thank you. I hope to sit next to you on a plane one day to ask you questions

@musichalloffame Thank you for reaching out. As you know, only you can know the truth of your life. Your life lessons have to be experienced by you. I hope you choose happiness. Choosing suffering seems to be the antithesis of self-love.

Make all the excuses you want to convince yourself. At the end you will see his Glory and then very quickly HIS WRATH!

[bmcnaught]

@gtazcom I see the glory today, which is where you're supposed to experience it. Please don't live for the joys of an afterlife. If you have awareness, you'll be terribly disappointed. If there is such a place as heaven, will you bolt when you see me there?

You know what the most common reaction is when a child tells their parents they're Transsexual?

"Why couldn't you just have been GAY???"

Then they throw them out. Not so bad if they're 18, but not so good if they're 11. The average age of homeless trans kids is 13 1/2.

@beautifulwhitecat, sadly, Satan has corrupted your "mind" to the point where the truth and God's love cannot reach you. The Lord loves His homosexual children, but it's the sick and deviant hatred you embrace that only the devil loves.

"You didn't make them gay"

Bullshit! Of course they make them gay. Make no babies, no more gays.
