He would do this every so often...point her out...make her a spectacle and she would be so embarrassed...and all of those homosexual hating rednecks there would look at her in disgust as they would imagine her former sex-life.



stupid evil pentecostals

Just a thought that bothers me, but even if one does believe that homosexuality is wrong (which I, the son of a bisexual woman, do not) I have to ask...weather L4T or anybody even can answer this I don't know but it's something I've always wondered about...and that really bothers me...with all the other much worse things out there and high rates both of adultery and divorce, among other things...why is homosexuality so singled out?? Why does this thing that even most mainstream churches don't get so worked up about anymore get treated like it is the worst sin ever in most Conservative, Fundy, and Pente churches?? Why would any church say that a gay person is "hard" to "win for Christ?"

I actually know a lot of (liberal) Christian LGBT people, so this has always confused me...but then I suppose by "Christian" they really mean "Pentecostal." I did know an "out" gay man who was (judging by his speech) at least Charismatic...he was a tortured soul...but I'm not sure how much was because of his beliefs or his family issues or what. Still, it happens, I guess.
