Just an FYI FRiends, perhaps this is even fit, along with Part 2, to pass along to someone.

"College was my first experience of a world out of control! My first year, I managed to keep a handle on my responsibilities even though there were lots of temptations. But, by the second year I was so confused with all of the freedoms that I had. Although my experience with homosexuality didn’t begin here, I believe that the vulnerability of it ever occurring did. The sky was the limit, and that is very dangerous for anyone who is disconnected from some type of foundation in life.

I had heard rumors of other women being lesbians, but I had no opinion about it. I think finding out that my brother was gay while I was in college made me tolerant of it.

I did have my first experience with marijuana. I started dating a young man that I had met in high school and my grades began to drop. Instead of discussing my struggles with my parents...."

Jesus said of Himself..."I am the truth ,the way, and the life...& no one can come to the Father but by me....

Very nice post, unspun. So many people are suckered into that lifestyle.

"Part II"

I hope you will be able to post part II, this is a bit of a cliff-hanger here.

I really like the way the interviewer asks the questions, gee, she's very mellow for one of those "judgemental" types.

Excellent post!

Women became my alternative. I had often heard from other lesbians that they felt much more comfortable with women because they satisfied them emotionally and physically—because women know women best

Many women think its just to difficult to nurture a relationship with a man, so they get into lesbian relationships. Well damnit, God made men & women differently on purpose and sometimes its tough to build a solid relationship....but thats what we are supposed to do damnit...don't bail out and turn dyke just because it takes a little work.

Thanks for the bumps and comments. I should have posted that "author" (interviewer) is Pamela Wong, director of publications for Concerned Women for America.

And happy INDEPENDENCE Day, Valerie Pegues! Her courage is a reason to take PRIDE!

by the second year I was so confused with all of the freedoms that I had.

I found that statement odd. We all have to handle it, weither we go to college or just get a job and move out of the family home. I await Part II.

[unspun]

Some freedoms are worth acting upon and some are not appropriate, eh? Especially so, for the immature and the rebellious.

This also was an odd remark since she stated she had a typical family invironment, BUT she did not answer YES when asked if hers was a 'close family'!!

I would tend to put family life on the first or second floor.

Thanks for the heads up!

[potlatch]

Sorry I never got back to you, got unexpected company! I'll just wait for the NEXT installment to figure out more about her!!

[unspun]

An interesting story, isn't it? Enjoy your holiday weekend!

[potlatch]

Yes it is interesting. You and I stay on late!! You have a good weekend too!

Check in bump. Scanned quickly for now. I will read it later.
