Hello my name is Leandro

[Freespirited]

Hello folks I am not really new to this website, since I had read many of the posts, and frankly didn't give much thought to become an official member until today!


I read some of your posts, and to my pleasant surprise I find it that at least in this gay website there seems to be a more frank, honest, and freer way of expression then many other gay christian sites, I am not going to mention name, but to my dismay the previous gay christian website I participated in behaved more like a straight and ultra-conservative christian wesite with some very disruptive, hiper sensitive, self-loathing, fanatical gay christians heavily monitored by some mean and self-centered ultra-conservative moderators, whose behavior seemed more like that of straight christian. I hope this is not the case in this website, because if it is then I am in the wrong place!? but if it is then I welcome a challenge without favortism and with a level of maturity.


I am a very open minded, free thinker, fun-loving, free spirited, honest, and sometimes raw, straight to the point gay christian guy who loves to express what he feels without censorships. That is not to say that I am not a well mannered and respectful of others, since I love and highly respect others opinions as long as mine is also respected as well.


I a 100% gay cubanamerican white male, just turn 44 years old yesterday as a matter of fact!!! :D , who loves to make friends and exchange ideas with all kinds of cultures, religions, races, genders, and especially with those who have differences of opinions.


Thanks a lot for welcoming me, I hope to make many good friends here!

Welcome Leandro! I hope you enjoy your time here. Happy birthday
:aparty: I'd give you a cake but they only have this lousy cookie. :cookie: We were nearly born on the same day as you probably know. Thanks for posting on my hello thread.:)

You can probably discuss about anything here as long as you use a respectful tone. The one thing that seems to rile people up is when someone comes in with the old "You can't be gay and christian" argument.

Hi Brian!


Then I think I'll fit well with the crowd in here because I am very opinated but also can be respectful of people's opininions as well. Luckly I find that members here are a bit more tolerant and mature, and not as overly sensitive as some members from the previous website I participate in!


And as far as being gay and christian too I definitely have no problems with that concept! I am very proud of my sexuality, needs, and my radical and liberal christian mindframe!


And Happy Birthday to you too!

I don't know if the love of arguing, or the love of making up, but we looove opinions here. Glad you made it. Look forward to reading more.

And

Happy Birthday!

Thank you Andrew!


I too love opinions no matter how different or radical they may seem to me!
Although I must admit after briefly having read some controversial posts in this website, most members here show a higher level of maturity and intellect when exchanging differences than the other christian website I participated in, where over sensatibities amongst some members was a
a mayor problem I dealt with on occasions!! and thank for your warm birthday wishes!! I am looking forward to exchange and share my views as
well as yours and everyone else!!

Hi Leandro,

I am glad that you have come to join us. I will also say "Happy Birthday" a day late. I remember when I was 44. It was a good year (if I remember it; never sure anymore.) :)

I too have snooped around other gay Christian sites. I am always bothered by the classifications of the group A and B gays. (or whatever they're called) I don't support the group B thinking that being gay is a sin that needs to be resisited and endured, and celibacy is the only option. I was in that camp for far too long. Too many gay Christians are unwilling to let go of that.

There are a lot of cool people who post here. Not being an exclusivly Christian site is valuable too. We Christians are the largest group, but I have gained valuable insight and understanding from our many non-Christians members.

I appreciate what you say about our higher level of maturity. I don't think anyone has ever said that before (at least not to the 40 year old+ guys around here.) often the comments are more of the opposite opinion, almost always, in fact. :D

Tu Amigo, Pablo
