He was the life of the party!
He was fun! He was funny!
IF someone was sick or in the hospital, he was the first one there!
He never came out, but we would have accepted him none the less!
He would have been 60 today! Died in a vehicle vs pedestrian accident about 8 months ago!
RIP man
May he rest in peace

because on one hand you have the old testament which is very clear on ****sexuality
and on the other hand you have the new testament which is about jesus christ, the son of god, or god or the person with the holy spirit of god inside of him, who forgives everything you do wrong
So which is it now? what does christianity truly say about this because as i see it, it's in conflict with itself
Check out this letter in one of our papers. It genuinely has me confused. Which of these Christians are right in their interpretation.
THE EDITOR, Sir:
"I'm a Christian now and I don't live this life anymore" was how a 'former' lesbian friend responded to my invitation to a discussion on LGBT human rights. Her false assumption was that Christians can't also be gay.
However, she is now a Christian with internalised ****phobia, which is, of course, her right, and I am a gay Christian married to an Anglican priest. My version of Christianity is inclusive. Hers is exclusionary.
In the Middle Ages, the Church excluded left-handed people who were considered demon-possessed (the word 'sinister' is Latin for 'left-handed'). During slavery, blacks were excluded and told to "obey their masters". Some Christians exclude people in interracial or interfaith marriages as "unequally yoked". Some denominations exclude those who eat shrimp, use contraceptives, or are divorced. And to 'prosperity gospel' believers, the sick and poor are excluded because they simply lack faith and are being punished by God.
While you can choose your version of Christianity, you can't choose your sexual orientation. You are either attracted to someone or you're not.
While the Church forced left-handed people to write with their right hand, sometimes on pain of death, that only caused suffering. Even when those persons learnt to write with their right hand, they still maintained the ability to do so with their left. Similarly, every reputable scientific body has found that 'gay conversion' does not work and is ultimately harmful.
I wish my friend well in her choice of Christianity. I also hope that she finds peace with the fact of her sexuality.
