Default Howdy everyone.

Hello everyone. My name is Teresa and I am straight. I got wind of this website after being involved in a discussion on amazon.com titled "I am a lesbian but I believe in God, what should I do." Someone posted this website as something that may be helpful and I thought it would be good to check it out. So, that is how I got here.
Just a short history of who I am: I am a massage therapist and a registered nurse. That was very short.
Why am I here? I just want to get informed and be able to contribute to the betterment of humanity by promoting acceptance and hopefully to help educate for understanding. This looks like a wonderful site to direct people to.
Blessings to all.
Teresa E Headington

Welcome Teresa,

This is a terrific website and I would definitely encourage your lesbian pal who feels like her sexuality and religion are in conflict to come chat with the people here.

Thanks for dropping by and saying hello - stick around for a while, join the conversations, and let us get to know you. We're a fun bunch of folk - sometimes we lock heads in philosophical argument, but all us regulars have become good friends, and we're always happy to make more.

Massage? I did that for several years - really loved it too. Long story, but I let my registration lapse and while I'm busy with other pursuits, I miss giving massage.

Default Teresa, stick around, read some threads,

And get to know the people. And anyone who tries to find traces of the dreaded Lavender Menace around here is probably going to go away disappointed.

P&L, BC

Default Welcome Teresa.

Thanks for wanting to be informed and considering yourself to be an "ally", of sorts. I hope that you find our company interesting and informative. watch out, you just might get addicted to the place (I sure did!).
