I'm not Christain, but I am gay, and my daughter is Christian, so I've
done some digging on this to combat the stuff she was getting from her
church which had her really worried about *me*. Without getting into a
long rigamarole, there are many gay men and women who are christian and
do not believe that to be gay or to "indulge in homosexual activity" is
sinful. There are alternative interpretations to all the usual biblical
references put forward by the "gay is sinful" crowd.
