I may be concerned and I confess I am not comfortable with many aspects of homosexuality, that doesn't give me license to despise. I also have similarities perhaps that you have in your background. I was an Evangelical minister's son, and worked in a Christian school. Heck, you could be a former student.<BR/><BR/>In the end, you will have to be secure in the love of your family being based on your inherent worth as a human being, and not based on other factors. In the end you and I may not agree on many things about homosexuality, which is understandable, as we are viewing them from across a divide. <BR/><BR/>However, there is a binding factor of love. Had you been one of my students, I would embrace you in the love that encompasses the teacher and the taught. I believe that same bond would have me embrace my own children should they say have to make the same admission. That type of love is not based on the behavior, attitude or any factor of another, it is based on the concept that love of others is based on a moral imperative.<BR/><BR/>It is my sincere hope that you are met by the same embracement of you, by the one's you love. <BR/><BR/>Take your time, and remember that in the end you have to embrace yourself honestly.A Voice of Reasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573804576209140793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597399695555911907.post-48792554218011405752007-03-05T23:57:00.000-05:002007-03-05T23:57:00.000-05:00Good luck.

Whatever a person does with their various feelings/preferences/beliefs/whatever, it's meaningless unless they start from an honest beginning. It might be hard with some family members or a couple of friends, but I bet you will be surprised how supportive and caring most people will be. Come on out of that closet!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
