I went to East Texas when I was seventeen. I had no opinion on Homosexuals one way or another. Tyler Texas is one of those "buckles" in the Bible belt.

Well I had some engine trouble and cell phones weren't popular yet. After over an hour of trying to wave down many Good Christians a couple finally picked me up. They were queer as a football bat. Also had a nice girl with them.

They got me to a phone, lent me over a hundred dollars for a tow - Put me and the girl in the back seat together - took us drinking and dancing and I dated that girl for almost three years.

Almost like human being's, that gay couple. One was a computer engineer and the other did underwater welding. Like Normal people. Never hit on me. Never weird or awkward and always - always helped in a pinch.

I thought for a bit you might be alright. A little out there, but alright.

I was mistaken. Just a Bigot that doesn't curse.

No. you will never convince me these people are bad or immoral. Sure some are. just like everybody else. Man, they just happen to be gay. They have the right to the American pursuit of happiness just like you and me. That is what makes America Great.

God bless, homosexuals are NOT immoral in soul, I love all people, including the most morally deprived sociopaths at the upper echelon of power and wealth, though, I'm a Christian, so I think homosxuality is a sin, same with sodomy. That means sodomy done by a homosexual or heterosexual. Is that too hard to understand? That doesn't mean I hate gays or think their entire being is immoral! In life we have freewill, God guides us. I do not priase homosexuality, as a matter of fact, I do not priase the flesh nor the 'pride' of sexuality; whether it be heterosexuals or homosexuals or something else. The flesh is a burden.

It's cool that you have so many fond memories of gays. I have family friends who are gay and I love them and they are very nice people who do good things for the community.

It's weird that you're polarizing EVERY SINGLE COVERSATION. My stitch above on homosexuality and it's relationship with pedophilia was to show you how I TOO COULD polarize the conversation and blame everything on homosexuals. I don't because we all here are against rape, and molestation. SO, I made the case that a subset of pedophilia exists in the homosexual community. A subset that the majority of homosexuals, the ones you're fond of would disprove of because they too think it is immoral.

I'M NOT CONVINCING YOU, your convincing yourself and trying to put words in people's mouths. I'm a Christian, so I think homosexuality is a sin. And we ALL SIN. I'm not saying that all gays are immoral because they are gay. We all do immoral things in life.

Fair enough. And I admit - I can see where I can come off as polarizing. Some people argue in bad faith, hit me with amazing fallacies and it leads me into some conversations with my fists and guard up. Sometimes I like a good fight. That is a personal flaw. I am glad you took the time to write back.

You seem like a good guy and further more, a gentleman. I disagree with a few things, but that is okay. I can disagree with those things and still see that your heart and motives seem to be in a genuine place.

Ill try to remember that you argue in good faith and I will stay on point.
