[Pablo Rafael]

Hi Victor,

Sorry it has been so long since your original post. I haven't checked in on the forums for awhile. I hope you are still around.

People have a choice. They can choose to be homophobic and can choose to interpret the Bible in a way that demeans gay people. or they can choose to be loving and affirming and chose to interpret the Bible in a way that values all relationships. As for me, I am going to choose to be affirming and supportive. If I err, it will be on the side of love, not hate.

You asked what rules guide gay relationships. I say exactly the same ones that guide straight relationships. I take my guidance from the Bible and see that the advice there is beneficial to all people, not just one group.

I too was attracted to guys as long as I could remember. Even though I was taught that it was wrong, I couldn't ever see exactly why it was wrong. It didn't seem wrong. It took a long time for me to finally listen to God and come to the realization that He made me gay and that it was a good thing.

We all need to rejoice that God has made us all so different and so wonderfully diverse.

I pray God's blessings will come to you on your journey through life.
Pablo
