Growing up in a very conservative Christian home and being active in church for the majority of my adult life, faith in Jesus, has been a priority in my life. Over the last few years, determining I am truly a Gay person, has caused me to turn a way from church. I cannot say I have turned from my faith, but I have had difficulty having a relationship with God, who supposedly hates me because I am gay. How can I love and serve someone, who I believe created me.....and allows me to have these feelings of same sex attraction. I have spent a majority of my life, attempting to overcome being homosexual.
Recently, I have decided to address this issue, and attempt to reconcile my faith and my being gay. I have begun attending church, again. Currently, I am visiting College Park Baptist Church in Greensboro. It's NOT a Southern Baptist Church, but an American Baptist Church. It openly states that is a church that is inclusive of all people.
If anyone has an interest in why I'm attending this Church, here's the website:

Also, I have come across a website called the Gay Christian Network. Some very interesting
articles in the Great Debate Section. Here's the link...but I think you must have a log in to view all the posts:

I am in no way suggesting I have come to terms with this subject. I have not at all. However, I am attempting to address the issues. My relationship with God has always been important.
