That's wonderful that you've had such close relationships with boys and that both you and they will cherish them! I agree that that is the way for us to express our orientation. I'm sorry I misunderstood what you wrote. To me, the following statements made it sound like you were abused: "Who are we (despite what we feel) to ruin a childs life by sexual abuse? I would hate to condem anyone by my own actions to the sort of life I lead...Just a few thoughts from someone who finds himself in one hell of an emotional mess." Anyway, I still pray that you will find healing for your emotional state, whatever the cause. Mark |
