On "Hate the Sin, Love the Sinner"
Taken from Chris H. on Faith Promoting Rumor a Mormon who spells it out wonderfully.
“Love the sinner, Hate the Sin,” is a saying with great intentions. It is a way of saying “You can dislike a certain action, but you should be nice, even loving, to those that do it.” It seems to be most often used (lately, at least) within discussions about homosexuality. We should love homosexuals, but hate...
ken-kesey-deactivated20111230-d asked: I'm a lesbian, and I actually tend to disagree with your point of view on Joel Osteen, he's actually a really inspirational guy. I've read a few of his books and seen him on television a couple of times, and I like what he has to say. He wasn't trying to sugarcoat anything by saying that. I mean sure he doesn't believe in homosexuality, but that's merely his opinion....

~Apologies for this sloppy and rushed blog post~
It was a section of our plastic-faced friend, Joel, answering a question about homosexuality. I found the quote from CNN:
“Yes,” Osteen answered. “I’ve always believed, Piers, the scriptures shows that it’s a sin. But you know, I’m not one of those that are out there to bash homosexuals and tell them that...

This is the blog of Tashi, a young woman battling the state of Arizona for benefits and battling for treatment for her husband Wash, who is dying of brain cancer. They are coming up against a huge medical debt and at least $1000 gap every month in normal living expenses.
They are an incredible couple, I watched a few of their videos and they are still so funny and upbeat after all...
Submission: Homosexuality and the Bible →
A title like this on a site called ___ Ministries always makes me nervous, but I can always, always tell within seconds if they will be for or against treating homosexuals like human beings. How? Length, citations, and the word “historically” anywhere on the page. This article isn’t perfect but it is still a mature and calm outlook on the situation.
All that to say, this is a...

Anonymous asked: I'm not sure where to put this, so I'm sorry but I really need help. I'm a girl and I know that I like guys. However, I find that I'm attracted to girls as well. I've been sexual with about three girls, and I've enjoyed it. My only problem is am I bisexual, lesbian or what? I don't know what to do. :(

All this talk about stereotypes and such leave me aching to put in my two cents as well. I’m a girl, and I like various things, as I’m sure we all do. I also secretly like doing really girly stuff, but my mom just makes me feel very upset when she says that a girl should do this, should do this, using my gender as a reason to make me do something. I think it’s one of the reasons...
