Gay And God.

When it comes to objections to homosexuality the most common reason given is religion.

Conservative religious people maintain that God disapproves of homosexuality.

Some try to mitigate criticism by saying that they do not condemn homosexual orientation but only its sexual expression.

This is a cop-out.

It tears gay people in two.

And it is tantamount to torture.

Many gay people have killed themselves as a result.

But God does not condemn homosexual expression.

I am living proof.

God loves me as I am.
