Hello Everyone!
My name is Becca and I'm currently a senior at Central Michigan University. This is actually my first time ever really using a blog, so please bear with me! It seems a bit overwhelming but hopefully I'll be able to manage.
I would first like to say that this website has been so helpful and informative! It is so great to see such positive messages filled with hope and love. Just last week on my college campus, there was a hate group who stood outside classrooms everyday telling everyone that Jews and Gays (and basically everyone who was not them) that they were going to Hell. It's comforting to see that there are messages of encouragement out there.
The reason I decided to join this blog is because while I am not Gay myself, there are many people in my life who are, including my brother and best friend. It is very important to me that they are the happiest they can be, and if that includes being religious, I want them to know that I support this 100%.
I also joined because I am writing an English paper on the GLBT Christian subculture. My best friend who is a Gay Christian, has decided to abstain from all gay relationships because of his faith. I think this is leaving his life incomplete because we all need loving relationships. I was hoping by writing this paper I could better understand the possible options that he might have. With this paper I have to interview two people who are GLBT Chrisitians. I am in desperate need of one additional interview and if ANYONE is willing to take some time and answer my questions I would be so grateful. I like to think that this paper might make a difference, however small, in the lives of my classmates, and hopefully in my best friend's life.
Well that was quite an introduction! I am looking forward to meeting a few new friends and discovering a few new points of view. Thanks for your time!
