		<description>Hi Katie, I&#039;m not Anita and could never explain anything so well - but I want to remind you that God led you here.  You were praying for guidance and he answered.  Yes, of course it is possible to be straight and still have empathy for gay people but I have discovered that it is usually those questioning their own sexual identity who are doing the searching and learning.  Some days - I don&#039;t know what I am and only know for sure my experience, yet I thank God for showing me the truth and giving me understanding of other gay people.  If at the end of the day I am wrong then this journey has been well worth it and I can only pray that more people can share in it.</description>

		<description>Hi Anita! Thanks for this wonderful website. I was praying for guidance on this topic and the Lord lead me here some weeks ago. I have been going through a period of confusion at what my orientation really is. I really like the acceptance of everyone here. It has warmed my heart so much. I don&#039;t know if that is what I am looking for or whether I really am gay. I have dated guys but it didn&#039;t work out. My pastor said that gay marriage was on the same lines as someone marrying a duck. I cried that night because no matter what...that was just wrong to say. More and more after spending time on this website and others while also talking to some people...I have seen how much love there really is from everyone. To be ignorant and especially a preacher is not what God would want. I really appreciate everyone. Is it common for people to increase in gay empathy but not be gay? Thanks :)</description>

		<description>Good one Anita. 
Loved this part &quot;We proclaim without reservation our love for God and God’s love for us and we seek every day to live lives grounded in the love of God and reflective of the Spirit of Christ so that others would know claiming their sexual orientation need never come at the price of forsaking their faith and relationship with God&quot;. This would have to be the most important for anyone dealing with internalised homophobia.</description>
