Wow Carlita a big THANKS for that kind and loving remark!
I have NO ISSUES with my sexuality and have no issues being willing
to love (agape) a gay man.
Qualities are qualities and my friend has many fine qualities.
Gosh. I wanted to say more than "you're welcome" and a Like; however, you are welcome and thank you.

Let's just put it this way: You don't win friends and influence people by 2000 years of burning people at the stake, hanging them, driving them out of town and refusing to treat them like human beings.

Actually, I don't see it that way. The "support" of others is really consequential to me, as a gay man; and has become so "popular" that I sometimes feel gays are lifted on the shoulders of others and paraded around rooms. I mean, really; some actress "comes out" on national television and gets a standing ovation; yet we lament about the lack of support for LGBT? LoL.
What is consequential to me is "lack of oppression"; in other words, "live and let live". Carry on with your religion; just leave me alone.
I wonder why gays would want to be religious anyway; especially those religions, like Christianity, that speak out against homosexuality. It is ultimately self-defeating to insist on trying to be a part of a group that is not going to accept you. In my case, for reasons including but not limited to homosexuality, my very family is a "group" that will not accept me. So I stopped worrying about it, stopped changing it, accepted it and went on about my life. And maybe, in that statement, you have your answer.
