gay marriage?

I have sat here trying to think of what to write.  I even had a few paragraphs down and erased them.  I am going to start over with the first thing I was going to write about.  PLEASE do not send me any hate mail ok?  I am not here to judge anyone.  I am confused about some things and have decided to go ahead and write about at least one of them.

The courts in Massachusetts have decided that a ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional.  I am a Christian and I know that I am supposed think homosexuality is wrong. **Please don't write telling me my faith is wrong**  But I struggle with this.  I believe that you are born homosexual and that is what I think gives my problems with it being wrong.  If you are born that way then it is not a choice.  So how can you fix that?  I don't know that you can.

PLEASE believe me when I say I am NOT judging anyone.  And I am not writing this to get into a debate about religion.  I am just saying that this is one of those "hot" issuses that I struggle with.  I am just being honest.

I like your honesty on this subject. Some people should be more honest. Your honesty has persuaded my thinking on how whether or not someone is born gay. Let it be known that i am same sex oriented...and i always believed that it wasnt my choice. It took me a while to figure things out living a "straight" society but the thought never crossed my mind that i was just born this way. And you're right; it's not something you can fix. Believe me. I tried!
