Not to for one second steal any of Tyler's thunder, but just to let you know gabbi, and anyone else reading, I totally, completely agree with what he posted. And I am *not* the only one, I absolutely assure you.
We aren't vocal enough perhaps. We aren't comfortable or articulate enough, perhaps, to make this known. But we are here, and I am coming from a middle-of-the-road to conservative, Protestant, Christian perspective. No friend of mine that I'm aware of, in my circle of church friends feels they are justified, or required to, pass judgement on another's behavior in that way.
IMO, it is distinctly unChristian (and lost) to *label* gay people as lost! (Did that make sense?) For me, the way I understand Jesus' words and the overriding message of the Bible in total, is that God loves each and every one of his children exactly the same, wants us all, cares for us all, weeps for us all, wants us *all* to prosper.
I thank everyone for these posts. It's important stuff, and not so easy to think about or talk about.
