I figured as much. I just haven't met any gay person who didn't make their preference the centerpoint of their lives and demand that to accept them, you have to accept everything about them. Yet I don't know of any straight person who demands that people accept their lifestyle choices or else they scream hate. Too bad.
Sorry about your church, or your former church. I hope you can find one that reflects the gospel as you understand it and that you are happy.
Merry Christmas and remember, wise men still seek Him. And they find Him with our help.
We found a place to light - we're very happy Catholics in an old-fashioned, orthodox parish, with very enthusiastic, believing priests who preach Christ and him crucified EVERY Sunday. Plus we have go-getter laity, and a great choir!
