They stay away from cities like Mount Vernon and Manassas.

These people deserve a great deal of support and respect, it must be difficult for them to conform to what the Church believes is a moral life

Single straight Christians do the same thing if they believe the teachings of celibacy before marriage.

Not just difficult, hellish actually. My daughter is this way and she cries and cries and laments her position in life. She loves the Lord, but has been “transgendered” from an extremely young age. She is still young (20’s) but hopefully she will come to the place where she can just give up trying to find love with a female partner because that means sex (usually) and sex brings her guilt, unhappiness, etc.

You know, if you avoid all the racy stuff on the Internet and TV, it can make it a lot easier...

I sympathize with your daughter, but I doubt she is any more lonely or any more horny than any other single Christian woman. Endless millions of women have been alone for many years, either because we never had a chance to marry, or are widowed, or were divorced, or are ill. It’s not exactly a unique situation to be in but I wouldn’t describe it as “hellish.”

Bring her back to God. Get an exorcist to pray this demon out of her.

What a weird subject.

I'll never understand people that can't or won't get laid.

I suppose a non-practising homosexual Christian is no worse than a non-practising heterosexual Christian. If the celibacy is in obedience to God, does it really matter whether it is abstaining from men or abstaining from women? The abstinence should be applauded if it is sincere and honoring to God.

you’re probably right, you probably never will understand it.

Prayers for your daughter. I don’t know her, I respect her courage.

They’ll be shunned by the national gay movement because they do nothing to aid the gay mafia’s recruiting efforts aimed at kids.

Actually, celibate gay Christians have a harder struggle because they do not have marriage as a solution. They have a life-long struggle. Yes, we need to support them.

The question I have is, is she “possesed?” The young lady may be attacked or maybe oppressed.

There are Christian ministers who are into healing and delieverence ministries.
