"The GLBT community feels a constant unnamed pressure from both sides--an invisible Christian ideal that they can't see themselves living up to, and an overt push from the gay-friendly culture to just 'come out' and be OK with it. Neither option seems achievable to many people who have a same-sex attraction, so they are left with no home and no sense of support. A large portion of these people eventually try to force themselves to fit into one of these unnatural categories just so they can belong somewhere."

I have LOTS of questions, and mixed feelings. But I know this: God is growing my compassion and love.
May God continue to grow me within His will,
