I really love your take on this subject matter... Well worded well thought out and an outstanding treatise in my opinion. A teachable and deep Christian take. I had written something yesterday on this string and apparently it didn't get posted, maybe my fault.
I have many gay friends. Some of them outstanding people, remarkably funny, and other noteworthy attributes. Some of them so close to coming into the light. My aunt whom is childless and in her mid 80's now had taken a gay couple with my passed away uncle, as almost children. I have never met these two men, but I hear of their mutual kindness and warmth to my aunt out in Scottsdale, and they are amazing men. The truest of true friends. I have likewise known many gays that have good qualities. But unfortunately rarely of good friendship values.
It is as
says and that divine insight of the spectrum of sexuality, very well does exist as you say
. In my younger years, I was a film and drama student at NYU. My sexual ties were always the ken and Barbie kind the machismo self serving kind. Perfectly described. When I was like that I had oodles of gay hangers on (I've always been straight). But when I had learned enough about sex and love , and frankly my tastes had changed ( although my wife is gorgeous but has a good heart as well) it was part of the end of all those other friendships. There is a stuntedness to homosexuals often a fixation on things and appearances, that betrays somesort of recessed maturity. I often wonder whether this is because they may have not developed out of the androgenous stage of development... although hormones play apart in children, they are somewhat androgenous till secondary sex ual traits. Hence more cuddley with the opposite sex parent as puberty ensues (generally) and more cuddly with both parents before.
But I think the greater point is to discern the individual before you as sex less first and human, and in goodwill (if it exists ) try to be honest . There is nothing to hate or mistrust, unless something is demonstrated. Many good people live in sin. And the common theme in this string, strikes me as a human tolerance in you all, a desire to be candid, and where I see people closing off is the political aspect of this,and the clerical aspect of this, and the family (gay as parent) aspect of this. Those are all good beefs. But the sooner we realize that those beefs , do not constitute hatred the better really. Homosexuals are our neighbors, friends, and family. To prostelitize them is an invitation, not a censure. It is through love and kindness , that traction will be made against the demons within, and although I see a lot of resistance in homosexuals to the realization of their sin, I see also nothing but insecurity in themselves in these demands for social parity. Otherwise the breakthrough of common law would have been enough, and not the demands of farcical two brides or two grooms.
