I have a number of friends who are Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual. It really helps me to know that there are places like this where they can go to talk with others who are like them. While not Christian myself, I do know of the Right to believe what your heart tells you to believe. No one I know judges me for my choices, and I try not to judge people for theirs (there are limits, I’m not Ghandi, and I’m definitely not Jesus).

Does me good, to see Christians supporting Christians. You don’t see enough of that these days. Too much focus on who’s right and who’s wrong. As I learned in childhood, from my impossibly patient Catholic teachers, ‘God is great, God is forgiving, His love knows no limits’.

Awww Bon, that was sweet. Thank you! Ditto. I think that would be fun! Perhaps we could all go visit the bouncer someday.

You know, I wish I could meet you all face to face. You warm my heart. All of you.

Don’t worry, at the wild parties I throw, the only swinging done is the kids on the swing set. So your credibility is safe.

Kelli –> That mental picture might look all tough and and in your face but when someone would threaten to take a swing I’d probably be the first to duck and cover while whining “don’t hit me don’t hit me.” Do you think that might ruin my credibility?

Anita, LOL LOL that picture of you with the sleeves and toothpick…priceless. I’ll let you be the bouncer at my next party. Every one’s invited.

Kelli and Steph –> Finally someone appreciated the name tag! Not that I’ll be wearing it to church on Sunday…

Joni–> I never meant to say you were girl! It’s just that when I hear a Christian in the middle of condemning gay people say that they feel sorry for us, it’s like finger-nails on a chalk board to me. I would imagine the same is true when we express the same sentiment for others. At the same time, I know those feelings are genuine for you and for me, and because I’ll assume the same is true on their part, it’s not up to me to worry how it’s received as much as how it was given. Eh?

John and Lindsey –> There are no door prizes given here for kissing up to the blogger, though I might consider adding that feature…..

Mindy and Ceara –> So glad you can feel some safety here. Comment away. Consider me your personal bouncer. In fact, I’ll roll up my sleeves and stick a toothpick in my mouth to look more menacing.

Choralgirl –> Forget John and Lindsey, the door prize is yours. Now, where should I send the year’s supply of ear wax cleaner?

And Lindsey again –> I appreciate that perspective. I wouldn’t march into a Christian Men’s Bible Study forums online and rail against homophobia because their forum has a specific focus intended for a specific audience. It seems so obvious. Glad to have you as a sister and a friend…in a totally non-sexual, straight way of course

Anita,
Thank you for the post. I now feel as if I can comment with out retribution from outside people.
