I can speak to this issue a bit. I am not a BL but I am gay. I visit this board and another message board related to boylove because my partner of five years is a BL. There were members of my church back in the late 80s that thought I should try to "overcome" my homosexual tendencies. I had not even really come to terms with the fact I was gay but I had admitted to several in my men's prayer group that I had homosexual thoughts. And I had never acted on these thoughts, either. At their prodding, I went in to counseling. It did not work. I prayed. I prayed some more. I prayed on my knees. I prayed in the morning. I prayed in the evening. I prayed at work. I asked God to do what His will was for my life. After a few years, I was still gay! LOL. What I am trying to say is that I have come to a point in my life where I know God loves me. He made me. And as Tess from TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL says, "God don't make junk, honey." I am still a man of faith and I still pray daily. I still ask God to cover me with His mercy, grace, and love. And he continues to bless my life in ways I cannot adequately describe here. Bottom line...I wanted God to help me to be the person He wanted me to be and I feel very comfortable with who I am today. Take care and God bless. --Cherub |
