This week I was really intrigued about the whole idea of homosexuality. I don't know many people who are homosexual, so I guess you could say that I have a lot of questions. I decided to do some research on the web to see what I would discover. Needless to say, it wasn't what I expected. I could not believe how many websites were contributed to being against homosexuality. I honestly thought that we were living in a new era. Granted, most of the sights were religious in nature, proclaiming that the Bible says that homosexuality is wrong. I am a Christian. I don't attend church and I am not very familiar with the specifics of the Bible, but I do believe in God and I do pray. With that being said, I can firmly state that I have absolutely no problem with homosexuality. I am currently in love and have been for about four years. I cannot believe that people criticize homosexuals for following their heart and engaging in something that fulfills their hearts desire. I cannot imagine being deprived of love, and I would never wish it upon anyone. Anyways, when I came across all of the religious stuff against homosexuality, I started to wonder if there were a lot of other people like myself, who were Christians, but didn't have a problem with homosexuality. I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon the website ChristianGays.com/wrong.shtml. It was such a breath of fresh air. The website uses the Bible to teach us to be accepting of homosexuality. It addresses all of the issues so thoroughly and even examines counter-arguments. I would love to quote all of the good information, but I think it's more powerful to read the material in it's original context. Please visit the website and be enlightened. :)
