Chill. I think everyone who walks the face of the earth is sometimes out of control, unfufilled, and having feelings of being loveless. Whether one is gay, heterosexual, sexually attracted to chilren, rich, poor, handsome, ugly, black, white, educated, uneducated, gifted, healthy, sick, addicted to drugs, free from smoking, and on and on, LIFE IS NOT EASY(at times).

If one is gay and can put behind society's pressures and the voices in the back of their minds regarding God, then more power to him. He is moving on, shining on despite the darkness outside(society) and the darkness within (guilt).

Everyone has attacks from the outside, and everyone has internal struggles! The key is to leave them with God! Enjoy life! I have found that God helps me change things that are right to be changed in His time. Everything changes and can be changed; sometimes quickly with a tornado taking away everyone you know and all your belongings, but normally change in the heart occurs slowly. There will always be people who will condem you, but the truth is: you can rise above the darkness of those who want to cripple you with guilt and shame. You may be with someone with the same sex for years, and in your 50s, change occurs. Then again, change on this one issue need never change! There are enough issues to concern ourselves with!

Sometimes we wrap ourselves up in the guilt of a particular issue. For example, many here are riddled with guilt over our intense feelings for boys. Yet, God gave us this at this time in our lives. In my opinion, it is a gift to lean on God when it seems no one would understand (similar to a homosexual). AND it is a gift because we can make a positive impact in a boy's life! Yet, if we sit and struggle with society telling us, "We're all pedophiles," then we might just believe them and become one. If we sit and suffer in guilt, then we are unable to be free to show a child we care and shine on!

In conclusion, being gay is really no big deal! Chill. Unless you feel God is "telling you" to change at this particular moment, don't consume your energy on what others think. Who cares? Also, how can one be good to the one they love if they are stuggling with these outside and internal forces. I cannot be good to a boy (or anybody for that matter) if I am dwelling in the sea of darkness.

Peace.
