	Perhaps .. Would *you* stay somewhere where you aren't
wanted?  Enough christian folk that I know are out to commit 
physical violence against gay people ... you know, fagbashing..
Now if that's a christian concept, then I don't want any part of
it.

	Should I really continue to be part of a community that 
derides an important part of what I am, and what God made me to
be?  I don't need that kind of abuse; I can get better elsewhere,
and pay a lesser price for it besides.

>>...I'm not too keyed on having people condemn me 
>>for what I am  wish hateful things on me, and then preach love and 
>>peace afterwards...  It's called hypocrisy, I think ... 

>Is it possible to love your little girl while disapproving of her
>going poo-poo in the middle of the living room carpet?  Is is possible
>to love your teen-age son after he has stolen electronic equipment
>form a local high school?  Is it possible to love the person but not
>love the behavior?

	The key word is *preach*.  These folks have *not* practiced
the love and peace part.  I hope you are able to read this part,
because your reading ability certainly was not evidenced by the
reply which you posted.
