If you remember that day, I spent about 30-45 min. alone with you in Open while you explained your difficult background. I believe that I was kind, encouraging, and supportive to you.
Later in Open, you did indeed say that "gays" are "an abomination". I stated to you at that time that I am a bisexual. Two other people in the room stated that they are gay. No, we didn't like being called that word.
Did we "go on and on about it"? Yes, as did you since you continued to state that we sinful beings. I had hoped the conversation would end there, and would never again see the light of day. However, you brought it into Babble.
I'll risk a PBC, or a block to state that I and my fellow bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgendered friends are not abominations. We are people, fellow Babblers, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters. We are not sins.
