Default Hello everyone!

I ran across this site while searching for info about homosexuality and the Bible. For a long time, I suspected that my son was gay or bisexual, and he finally told me that he is gay, about a year and a half ago. I have never felt that being gay is a choice. I have four boys, and Shane was the only one who ever basically tried to self-destruct with drugs. It all makes sense to me now. I had been a member of the LDS church for 22 years, and I was really struggling with the gay comments from members during church. Other doctrine and church history that I just kind of ignored in the past, started to weigh heavily on my mind, and in February, I left the church. The article about What the Bible Says - And Doesn't Say - About Homosexuality made sense to me, but I guess I'm struggling with whether any of the Bible is true. I want to believe, but I tend to avoid it now because I don't know what the real truth is. I don't know if that makes sense. Obviously, I'm searching, but don't know where to look. For 22 years, I had a purpose in the church, and now I feel lost. Is there a particular denomination that accepts gays? I live in a small town of about 25,000, so I doubt I would find it here, so I'm not sure what to do. Can anyone out there relate?
