I'm sensing alot of homophobia here, which isn't surprising given how many of us were brought up in the church. But what's sad about that it the Delta who told me about this message board is a lesbian. I hope those of you in these sisterhoods understand that some of the women you bonded wih/cried with/laughed with are gay.
And I don't understand this fear about the direction this country is going into. Look at where it started and what it's based on--slavery, murder and rape. Our first presidents were slave holders. Whatever is going on now, as far a is business as usual.

Oh people don't choose to be homosexual...tell that to 5 girls I went to undergrad with that thought they were gay...and now they're married/dating men! Maybe some don't choose...but some damn well do....and like I said....I don't have a choice in whether I want to be Black. I can't go to church and get saved and say "Oh wow....I'm Free....I'm not Black anymore!!"
Why does one have to be labeled homophobic to disagree with something. I don't like it when people wear white after labor day...doesn't mean I hate them. I understand homosexuality and do not fear it. I just happen to think its a perversion of nature.
And here we go with saying our presidents were slave owners...and that proves what??.... I love the way people point out the mistakes/misjudgments/prejudices of our forefathers as if that nullifies the fact that this is the greatest country in the world and that our moral "stick to it-ness" was stronger back then. Just as the Africans in Africa are enlaving their own people TODAY...doesn't mean that Africa isnt a beautiful country....to visit.
