YOUTH COMMENTARY: Growing Up With A Gay Dad

The author seems like a sweet kid, but this piece could have used some more editing.

I was quite confused at the leap from being in the playpen at the Jack-in-the-Box (which is confusing in itself) and then suddenly the mom is remarried and they are living in Virginia.

RE: "Just a "sophisticated" form of child abuse."

I'm not a very "Tolerant" man.

I have a gay friend who's smart, patriotic (he was chaptered out of the Army for his sexual preference despite his upstanding service) and kind. He's done me a few favors over the years and gotten me out of a few jams here and there.

If you said that stuff to his face, I'd split your f***ing head open.

That's the "not tolerant" part.

Well, you've got to admit not every girl has Cinderella for a father.

Unfortunately, the source and subject of the article are highly unreliable. We have no idea if any of it is true. Supporters of the lifestyle are not noted for their love of truth.

"Do as thou will is the law of the land" is a Satanic philosphy (of Alister Crowley and adopted by Anton Lavey).

It's actually a bit older than that...............

Judges 17:6
In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

So... do you consider THIS 'intolerant'?

Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Isaiah 3:9
9. The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
More?
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape.....
