Hello Josh. I read your post with great interest. I want to welcome you and congratulate you on coming to terms with your sexuality. It's great that you told your mom. Perceptions are very difficult to change and that is something that she only can do. Pray for her and be available to answer any questions that she may have.

Two books I recommend are 'Religion Gone Bad' and 'Stranger At The Gate' by Mel White. The first book I couldn't put down. Also, my friend has written extensively on the clobber passages. You can find his articles at www.epistle.us. Scroll down to 'authors', click, then look under articles by Bruce Gerig.

I am a transgender person who loves the Lord. I was confirmed and affirmed by him when I came out. God created you as you are and has a plan for your life. He has brought someone into your life that you love. I wish the best for you both.
