When discussing homosexuality...I choose not to bring up the bible because I know that lying, fornicating, lusting,adultery, gossip etc...are also sins and one is no bigger than the other. In God's eyes thay all weigh the same.
Recently (within the past year) I have had several friends tell me that they were gay all of these being females. Some fam and some close friends. I read that story in VIBE and it rings true because some of my friends said when they go to the gay club you would be shocked. There are guys in there that you know are married with children, professional men, and round the neighbor hood - just left the b-ball court guys.After that I am cautious of everyone. One of these friends told me to treat all guys as "gay until proven straight"
No, I don't think that being gay is the same kind of oppression as black people face. The other day my brother and I were just talking about this and he said "you can go to a job and hide that you are gay or no one will know unless you tell them (my friend told me she has been this way for over 3 years)but you can't go anywhere and hide that you are black".
Some of my friends say they think it is just a phase for them while others don't even want to see a man. I myself think it is just a phase for some of them too. Sorry for the long post. That's my $19.13
