I had a great childhood... my father worked to support the family, my mother was a stay at home mom, both were major parts of my life and I had great relationships with both, I had two sisters, no brothers, no access to "boy" toys, hate physical activity, love reading, crocheting, sewing, cooking, scrapbooking, prefer "dressing up" in skirts and dresses instead of pants, was baptized into the United Methodist Church after giving my life to Jesus at 17, was never abuse, raped, bullied, or given any reason to fear a man.  Im a blonde headed blue eyed big busted intellegent, caring, fun, sweet girl who never lacked the abilty to get attention from men I just don't want it!  I've read the Bibile, studied, have my own personal relationship with God, and found that He and I both are happy with me the way that I am, why is that threatening to other people?  Is His blood not great enough to cover all sins, including the sins of homosexuals (not to be confused with the percieved sin of homosexuality)?  We have freedom of religion in this counrty, and my religion, Christianity, believes I was made in God's image, that Im fearfully and wonderfully made, that I was known and loved before my conception.  Why do others seek to devalue me and my relationship with my Creator?  If you have been to an MCC church you would see the truth, beauty, and genuiness of these men and women's faiths and relationships with God.  Their beliefs on salvation, the blood of Christ, the meaning of the cross, are no different the the beliefs I was taught to hold dear in the United Methodist Church.  Who is it that gets to decide that these people can't be "real" Christians, can't have a "real" meaningful relationship with God, can't be saved, that their whole spiritual experience is utter falsehood?  Why is it that God can't really be speaking to the souls of His Homosexual children and whispering to them that they are ok the way they are?  If this was a real big issue in Gods eyes, wouldn't the Bible have more than a few highly debateble (especially in English translations)  mentions of homosexual sex, and why doesn't it mention at all the concept of stable, loving, monogamus homosexual relationships or marriages.  And why doesnt God tell his children in the MCC and other affirming denominations of Christianty that what they are doing is wrong?  The only people telling gay people they are wrong is other people.
