Recently I have become a Chrstian and now attend church regularly.  I have struggled to understand what God wants for me, and how this pertains to my orientation.  There was a book written by E.T. Sundby, "Calling the Rainbow Nation Home" which has really helped me understand my love of God even though I am gay.  So much of the bible has been misinterpreted over the years due to inaccurate trasnlation into other languages.  I think people need to understand that it is honestly not a choice. I did not choose to be gay.  Why would I want to be the black sheep of the family?   

I have read a lot of what you all have written in response to my first posting explaining that was a gay woman who is also Christian.  Yes, the bible does state that being homosexual is wrong, but you must keep in mind that the bible was written by man not by God.  The bible has been misinterpreted many times over the years, and is now excepted that God was telling man that being gay was not okay, instead of what was really writen, which was that it was not okay to lay with another man in prostitution.   

Do not be so quick to read the bible words and excepted them as God's words.  You know that it was interpreted by man through God, and now I must tell you, since that time has been misinterpreted.   

I am not here to debate or cause a rukus but only speak of what I know is the truth.  

I love all human beings, gay, straight, bi, tri, it really doesn't matter to me.  I am not here to judge you, and I think people should re-examine themselves to make sure they are not judging people who are gay.  Please take a step back, and look at your words. 

For those who are compassionate and understanding, I thank you.

Even as a lesbian I find this issue a difficult one to understand.  In the past, I have reminded myself not to judge another human being who may have gender issues or cross-dresses.  Then today, this showed aired, and it made me think again about how confused we all are about this topic, even today in the 21st Century.

I only have two questions to post:

a) Who defines what girl's clothes are and what boy's clothes are?

b) Does God care what gender we truly are if we love as God loves?

These two questions ran through my mind, and I knew the issue was moot.  It does not matter what are outer shell looks like, or what we clothe it in.  It's our hearts, and intents that matter to God most of all.  And so, that should be the only thing that matters to other people, too. 

Food for thought and God Bless,
