"My personal favorite little Christian catch phrase is, "God made you who you are for a reason." That is, unless you're gay or transgender, then you're just plain gross. Either that or you have a personal vendetta against God and his commandments (because we all know that gays aren't Christian).

If sexuality were something that could easily be traded in for a new model, there would not be as many homosexual persons as there are. For the most part, many gay, lesbian and bisexuals out there would agree with me when I say that they would happily, if not eagerly, change to straight. This is because of the adversity we face simply for being who we are."

I would never choose to be gay OR straight.  I like not having to worry about all those mating habits and rituals.   Yuck!

I always tell them 'god made me an agnostic, who are you to question god' - that sets them back a bit.

And God made me bisexual and transsexual.  So they need to understand that their little statement means that God has a plan for me and a reason that I am here.

Well of course he does Janet. He means for you to see the error of your ways and find peace in the Lord, that you may serve as an example of the power of the Word.

And if God made me this way, and we all know God doesn't make mistakes, by being what He wants me to be, would not becoming part of the feared group of zealots on the planet make me a sinner in His Eyes.

Nice one.  *Commits to memory for later use*

I didn't wanna be gay 'cause being trans is just, like, waaaaaay more fun...

Apparently God makes some people stupid for a reason.  Who are we to question God?

When Beverly used to hang out here, she told how someone asked her if god wasn't using this to test her. Bev replied that it was the other way around. "No, god is testing you."

When a certain someone I love says I'm a smart-ass, I tell her that I'd rather be a smart-ass than a dumb-ass.
