My experience with the gay community.

Yeah virgin queen, I can see where the similiarities are. But there are differences too, and that is OK. I believe in free speech and the freedom of thought--live and let live.

There is no such thing as a "gay agenda". It's a lie oft repeated though.
There is no propaganda either, just truth. We are citizens and we want full equality under the law for our people. Nothing more. Nothing less.
You can prove nothing else and statements to the contrary are not born out by fact or evidence.

But you replied to me and I see your statement as an implication of calling me a liar. Apologize.

virgin queen, what is your religious background, just out of curiosity? Were you always Christian?

My experience with the gay community has not been positive to say the least.
First off I slowly started to identify with being gay. I started to seek out friendships with other gay people.
What I found was highly disturbing. I found that friendship within the gay community was very conditional.
I found out that sex was valued over everything else.
I am a principled and moral person and I found out that if I could not be used for sex, that basically I was no use to them.
It took me awhile to figure this out, because I still believed in a live and let live philosophy and I was brought up to give the benefit of the doubt to the other person.
You see when I was first coming out I was really needing people to talk with and was needing an understanding ear from those who had been in my shoes.
My pleas fell upon deaf ears as long as I was just looking for platonic friendships.
The gay community really let me down.
All was not lost, as I have since accepted Jesus in my heart, and I have renounced homosexuality.
No longer am I friend of the gay community, no longer do I believe that they are a persecuted people.
I have seen the dark side of the gay community, and it sickens me to think that I almost fell for that trap.
I now have a good home church, I have a girlfriend, I have alot of straight friends, and most importantly I have Jesus.
Jesus has blessed me with people who care for me as an individual and a human being.
Had I stayed on the road to homsoexuality I would have had a nervous breakdown.
This is a good warning to all the young people who are contemplating a life of homosexuality--stay away, stay far, far away. Love your family, love your church. Love God, and don't value so-called sexual freedom above those who love you the most.

ACLU-Tom, true I don't know you from Adam, but you are supporting a sin that is contrast to the holy word as revealed in the bible. I am sure you believe in "a god", but is he "The God"?
And for your info, God did not create me as anything but heterosexual. It would be a cruel joke for God to create me gay, and then oppose every measure, every attempt I made for support and acceptance in the gay community. The God I serve does not play tricks like that.

As for support and acceptance in the "gay community" perhaps you weren't accepted because you're just not a very nice person to be around.

I just love how so-called "christians" have no problem lying, misleading, and deceiving. I'm sure Jesus is oh, so proud.

The proof is in the pudding, my life has greatly improved since I renounced homosexuality. I have an abundance of good christian friends, why would I ever want to go back to that destructive lifestyle?

Venus, how do you know he's not being truthful based on what he himself experienced?

Nothing in his post rings with any truthfulness. It looks almost like he's being coached as to what to say. Just another Exodus "plant" (or whichever organization) like the tag-team Western1.

Wow!! Can't you just see V.Q. with a puppet in his hand, talking to himself? That's what these posts sound like. If you look at the sequence, his identity is nailed. But....you did get people to respond, didn't you. Like being the center of attention?
