My brother's ex-girlfriend came out probably about 3 years ago. It was something we had known for a while, but she didn't tell us. I'm sure it was because of her fear. Her parents reacted very negatively to her sister coming out (disowned her), she was probably afraid her friends would do the same. In reality, we didn't care. As a friend of my brother (and therefore of the family) we all just wanted her to be happy, whether it was with a male partner or a female partner. Now that she has come out, I can see the difference in her. She is a much happier person, probably because she isn't feeling the shame of trying to hide who she really is. She has an amazing girlfriend and a beautiful daugther. She is truly happy with herself now.




I have a feeling though this thread is going to get waaayyyy off topic because people have very strong opinions when it comes to 1. homosexuals 2. religion and 3. politics.

I'm all about open debate and people discussing their opinions, but I guess we need to be nice about it.

I agree. But people still do sin, despite the fact Jesus died for all of our sins.
Just becasue Jesus died for our sins, it did not give all of us a "free pass" to live as we want. The New Testament speaks to this.
