Oh?

It's National Coming Out Day?

Where's the cake? There should be cake.

For the record, I'm so middle-of-the-road average, nobody ever sees me. I'm straight. I've been married more years of my life than I've been a child or single.

I don't have many friends who are just like me in this regard. And I like it that way. I prefer it that way.

God made everything, and I do mean everything. And since I haven't been given permission to judge, I don't. In that I don't, I accept - and my life has been the richer for it.

Beauty in diversity, variety being the spice and viva la difference -

Come on out. I've got cake waiting for you.

I wish I'd have known. I'd have baked a cake!
I DO believe that homosexulaity is hardwired, and that people are born to it. Few people CHOOSE the hard way to live. As such, I support gay folks 100%.
I know what the torah says, but I have to wonder what they really meant. Not finishing the job (the sin of Onan) was bad enough that guys got killed for it. So does that mean no one gets to spill sees no matter what? Too much unclear for me. SInce I am not a fully observant Orthodox Jew, I think my role here is to be extra nice to people and serve them any way that I can. In doing so, I believe that I am serving God.

There's actually a line or two in the Koran that mentions the squabbling Christians and Jews and how we simply can't get it together because we can't decide how much of our shared Bible is canon or not, and miss the entire point because of it.

You can imagine the reaction in the bookstore when the book fell open to that page - I busted up. Keep in mind, the Koran is also not written entirely by a deity either - and is the "newest" of the texts - so the snarking is just amusing for its own sake. Yeah, this has been going on a while. And oh - believe me - the other faiths have noticed.

Screwing up in the Biblical sense, I honestly believe, has its own penalties besides the ones You're Gonna Get When You Die, and those are the ones we're being cautioned about. Quibbling over a naturally occurring event? Nah.

We are all in service to one another, as we are all in service to God - ignore that at your own risk.
