While I am a straight male and thus cannot relate on either a gender or sexuality level, I have many friends and acquaintances who are either gay or bi-sexual.

First off, God loves you - period.

It is a human tendency to put limits and restrictions upon God's love. This has been the case since the early days of all religions. And if you take a look for yourself, you"ll find that many of the most notable religious leaders in the history of the world have actually fought against this including Jesus himself. After all, he chose to associate with those that his culture and society rejected like tax collectors, prostitutes and people with leprosy.

Years ago, people - including the very religious, used to consider slavery an acceptable practice and the Earth to be flat. Obviously we know neither of these are true.

It even says in the Bible that truths will be revealed to us in times in which we as capable of understanding and accepting them. I believe there will be a day that comes in which we don't focus on whether a relationship is homosexual or heterosexual but rather whether it is one of love.

I suggest checking out the book "God is not a Homophobe: An unbiased look at Homosexuality in the Bible" by Philo Thelos.

Hang in there and as Lady Gaga says - You're beautiful in your way because God makes no mistakes.

Thank you!
