PearlsNLace, I wanna send a copy of this to my adopted dad and his church.. LOL And show them that there are Christians out there who do practice what they preach... and as Theo said that is refreshing to say the very least.



Hugs to you both.

Vacationing in Florida every summer is a lifestyle. Being Gay is who I am.

Hearing that "lifestyle" word is like nails on a chalkboard to me. And then I recently had my own stereotypes shattered recently when someone said. "It does not matter whether someone was born gay or 'chooses to be gay', either way it's okay."

So in other words, even if being gay is "just" a lifestyle choice for someone. It's still not wrong/evil/bad/against God etc etc etc.
