I haven't had the experience of running into a gay soror (to my knowledge), but I can't see how I would really care. I just don't care, you uphold your pledge, you cool with me. I have bigger fish to fry, lol.
Now, I will admit, the non-AA members, that used to just confuse me, because I couldn't understand WHY they would want to join. But then, I don't know these women or where they grew up or anything. So how can I question their motives? I did meet a White soror at our regional conference this past spring, and I was just so taken aback by the whole thing at first. See, I can sit here and talk a bunch of mess of how a soror is a soror is a soror, but when I saw her (her whole chapter really, they all looked iffy), I was like, "Ummm." And that's all I could really say to myself. However, before the conference was over, I introduced myself to her and gave her a hug, because she IS my soror, and I bet she has a hard time a lot, so I wanted to kinda make her feel welcome.
Why a soror being a lesbian wouldn't bother me, but this soror being White did, I don't really know. Maybe because I have no beef with homosexuals. I do tend to have beef with White people from time to time, but I'm sure y'all can understand that.
