Thanks for this blog - I'm gay and it took a LONG time for me to accept it and learn to realise it was a part of me and  that I had no part in the plan God had for me. 

Being Christian made it hard as I had so many people saying 'gay is sin' but then I don't believe in a God who would hate anyone, let alone people who only want to love and be loved in return. I also struggled to relate to stereotypes as I'm actually very feminine and so thought I would never fit into the gay community. The thing is though, gay comes in many different shapes and forms but unfortunately the stereotypes is often all we see in the media! Once I accepted myself I soon learned that the majority of people around me did not care liked me for me.

I have since met my fiancee  (We have been together for 4 years. We have beeen engaged since Nov and even Kim acknowledged it in one of her video blogs) and will be having a civil partnership wedding next September. I couldn't be happier with the way my life is and want other people who are struggling with their sexuality to know that it is nothing to be ashamed of or frightened off.

Peace! xx

Hey! That quote on the first line comes from "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"! I'm reading it right now =P

I don't know if same sex relationship is right or wrong. But I think I got nothing against it.

I think ppl who are against same sex relationships are conservative while ppl who are fine with it are liberal.

wow thats amazing, i have alot of gay friends and to be honest there the best people ive met, there the nicest people to be with becasue they dont judge,  you cant help who you fall in love with, the sooner people realise that the better this world will be.

OMG! You think the same that me about it :O

about love and soul


Some people keep saying that love between people of the same sex is sin. But I don't believe it, you don't choose who you'll love....and when Jesus came to the earth, he always preached the love...and he didn't said that some forms to demostre this love are wrong...he just said about love...


and I believe when you love somebody, no matter that way you love, you'll just want bring good things to her :D

and plus, souls don't have sex...are just light who are finding their partners souls out ...body is something so material...and  love is more than materia, is spiritual ^^

Good to see you get another great blog out. It was great to read.

I too, like many people have a very good friend who is gay, and what can I say other than, we are all created equal. We all deserve to love and to be loved and it doesn't matter how its directed, as long as its genuine. If anyone believed that my friend, or anyone else who is gay doesn't deserve the same opportunities and rights of a straight person, then they are truely lacking the understanding of love itself. Love isn't defined specific to straight people. I think it was Kimberly that wrote in a blog that we are all cut from the same cloth. Definately applies to any way of life.

I like the quote at the end as well.

Wow iv enjoyed reading this blog and the replies, what can i possibly say other than i put a blog up "out and proud " or something similar to that a while ago ... So please feel free to read my views!

Thanks S :) 

heey girl. thanks for posting this.. it's been weighing on my mind alot lately.

i am a christian, but i could NEVER be against gay rights or anything like that- like many people one of my best friends is gay, and he is one of the best people i know. i have also gone through confusion with my sexuality in myself when i was younger (and to an extent am still figuring it out today) so purely because i know how they feel i could never condemn it.

God has told us how he feels about homosexuality in the bible, but theres always been alot of talk on how times have changed and whether those verses are still relevant in todays day and age. but basically the one thing I know is that its Gods place to judge and not humans. We don't have that right, so when i see closeminded people, homophobic people, like those people who rally in the streets and say 'God hates fags' - that really brings me down. It doesnt matter who or what you are God loves you for you and theres nothing that can take away that love.

The most important thing God tells us to do is love others as 'he loved us', so to me that means don't judge people because it's not our place...just love them and accept them. But i believe all love is beautiful.

but its certainly a debatable topic. lol

There always have been and always will be the stories that speak about love ..the important thing is to love yourself and the people who you choose to love.

I'm Totally agree with mery1, the real problem is the need to classify .......

Too often we are beaten, mocked,threatened, used, isolated and protected for a fake good because we love "people"... and I stress "people" because they are people, not aliens ...

Once, talking with my best gay friend, he told me that in addition to the psychological threats, which have been the result of malice or ignorance, he relive all, because without all the baggage of life, good things and bad experiences, people and irreparable goodbyes, he would not be what he is: a person who loves herself, who loves "the people" and that have no regrets.

Never confuse love with sex, never live in to the ghetto of yourselves and feel different: the shame is ashamed of what we are, And in these times, where we shall address the family as a value,I think that the only value to which we should cling both the value of love. And in the name of Love making our little revolution, a individual revolution, the only one that is able to change the world.

"Normal" is the power to decide of own person without being challenged.

btw, my mom saw my pix with Kimmy (She doesnt kno the PCD and kimmy has short hair) and I so can read her mind "who's this girl with Tammy?" hehe

Tammy

grr, I wrote along one and it didnt post. so here it is again...

Thanks for that Christine, well written.

A few years ago my then gf made me tell me family Im gay. My mom didnt like it, being asian is even worse, with the shame and family face and stuff like that, she made me to to doctor and counsellor to hoping to change me. Sorry but it doesnt work that way. My relatives are fine, but my aunts once in awhile ask my cousins if I've change and gone straight.

Im lucky to have friends who accept me for who I am and some of my work mates are gay, so it does feel supportive. Its just mom, she just swept it under the carpet and doesnt want to know.

I know its hard for some people to openly to say Im gay. Sometimes its hard being in a relationship and yet you gotta face the cristicism and judgement from people esp. from family and friends. I know people who go to the extend of physically hurt themself or committ suicide because of the all the hurtful things they had to put up with from love ones it just because they are gay.

It makes me think would you rather have your daughter,son,friends to be happy and healthy or dying because you cant accept them for who they are.
