I don't want to have to defend myself all the time, but it's gonna have to happen. Especially since I claim the title of Christian as well as lesbian. There have already been "clobber passages" thrown at me for this, which, thankfully for www.whosoever.org/bible, didn't make me waver in my faith at all. I know God doesn't make mistakes and He made me who I am. I know Christ died for my sins (which separate me from Him) and being a lesbian is not one of them. The English translation of the Bible makes it sound like it's wrong to BE homosexual, when in fact it never once since anything about BEING gay. Homosexual offenses may not even mean sex between two of the same gender. It could mean two straight people going against their own nature and having at it. Who knows for sure?
Either way, I just don't want to have to argue all the time about this but I may have to. I sure hope that this one book I ordered comes in as soon as possible. It's called "Bulletproof Faith" by Candace Chellew-Hodge and it's basically a defense handbook guide for gay and lesbian Christians. I know, though, I have to realize it won't make the attacks go away, but I want it to help me better respond for my emotional and spiritual sake.
Anyways, that's my little rant. Anyone else having this problem?

Yep, and I'm not even out/sure if i'm gay. But my best friend is dating a girl, and I'm vocal about my support for Gay Marriage. I'm a youth pastor, and I'm not allowed to express my opinions at church, but people still know what i think, and they just keep bringing it up again and again. One guy is even trying to run me out of the church because of it.

I'm sick of arguing.

This is why I have not been back to church. I  looked  down  on at  my  last  church ,  just because  of  my  beliefs  I  shared  openly  about  gay  rights.

Since  I  have  moved  to  California  I have not  found  a  church  that  is  kind of  like  my  old  church but  allows gay  Christians   to  surve openly.   I don’t want to   go through the same thing again.
