I get a lot of letters from LGBT folk about their terribly difficult relationships with Christians in their families and lives. The last such letter ("Help: I Want to Come Out to My Loving Evangelical Father") inspired me to create, via xtranormal.com, a weekly episodic series called The Smith Family Chronicles, debuting here. (I used xtranormal to create Christian vs. Non-Christian: Who Gets Into Heaven?)
Tune in here every Friday morning for a new episode of The Smith Family Chronicles.

This guy is a pastor, so he's pretty clearly Christian, and he has neatly showed us the way to go (among other things he's been showing):
If you are gay, be a Christian. You are saved.
If anyone tells you that the Bible says it's bad, tell them that you have Jesus on your side and it doesn't matter what you do because you are saved just the same as they are with all their sins.
If everyone else can sin their little hearts out and get to heaven, you can too. The only other Christian who has the right to criticize your sins is one who doesn't have their own. Everyone else can shut the hell up and worry about their own salvation and maybe why they do bad stuff if Jesus is really in their heart.
See? Problem solved, get back to work.
After watching this and his last video with the robotic, talking bears...I am still not impressed with his take on Christians. He seems to care more about putting them into a little box than try to understand them and their beliefs.
"In 1993, linkage between homosexuality and chromosomal region Xq28 based on molecular approaches was reported. Nevertheless, this was not confirmed in later studies."
You probably stopped there, because the abstract also goes on to discuss later studies:
"Recently, a wide search of the genome has given significant or close to significant linkage values with regions 7q36, 8p12 and 10q26."
... and:
"Deviation in the proportion of X chromosome inactivation in mothers of homosexuals seems to favor the presence of genes related with sexual orientation in this chromosome."

Your family is a prime example. Sounds like you have created a life with love, not hate. Your parents' loss indeed. What a cruel religion.
Then I grew up and realized that the world is a lot bigger place than the space between my ears.
For Lent, instead of giving up a pleasure, I always look for a new sin to commit... ^_^
I think the last four words are supposed to mean that a scenario like that has never happened in real life, which, as I've said, is not true. If you don't know that already, it's not too late to learn.
What flavour of pagan are you? :)
Yes, that was the point I was making with the allusion to Soap Operas and Daleks. :)
Also, I don't know if you actually KNOW (as in are friends with, not the bagger at your local supermarket is gay kind of know) any gay people, but if you did, you would see that this story depicted here is far more prevalent than most people would like to admit.
