Homosexuality in the Church

I live in Atlanta. Homosexuality is as common as a drive-by shooting. Open homosexuality that is. I'm from VA. There are probably as many gay there. They just aren't out because a lot of the time you can't be. I'm so proud of Atlanta for the acceptingness of the LGBT community. Its the straight up bible belt here! Why cant ole mid-Atlantic Virginia get it together?

Anyway I've started going to a new church that is full, lleno, packed, straight up crowded with gays and just people in general. They congratulated a lesbian couple on their marriage this morning. Everybody was so excited for them. I didn't see one ounce of judgement. I also noticed that the demo tends to be 20-40ish. I always felt that at my old church in RVa that it was the older folk that kept us from being progressive. Eventually one day we will be the old folk and hopefully we can change along with the youngins.

I'm glad it seems like being gay is no longer looked at as something all about sex. That's why so many people have problems with it. I don;t know anybody who has a problem with love. Homosexuality is no longer a classified mental illness. I'm glad gays in Atlanta have a home to worship in because New Birth is NOT that place. Oh and the manly lesbians stay out in full force, you know I have a slightly lesbian spot for all of y'all. LOL.
