Thanks for stopping by! :o) <br><br>Jon - Thanks for the comment! I always appreciate it when someone is willing to provide perspective in a constructive way. <br><br>I guess what you said could be implied from my examples (so I'm glad you brought it up), but that's not my intent. By your reasoning, a divorced person couldn't be a Christian either. I'm trying to focus here on how Christians relate to non-Christians, and one area I think this is often done poorly is when interacting with the GLBT community as a whole. I don't really address the topic of people within Christianity who deal personally with same sex attraction; that's outside the scope of my topic. Does that make sense? Angela – glad you're encouraged and inspired! Thanks for stopping by! :o )

Maybe that could be reflected on when considering potential responses: not assuming. You imply that gay people can't be Christians in your examples?
