I work in CA where there is job protection for LGBT. My employer has about 900 employees, but there are real hold over racial and LGBT issues. The org has gone thru serious growth in the last years and has become a very diversified workforce. It had litigation serious racial issues a few years before I started, and a fair amount of the old guard has retired. But, there is still serious tension. Senior management is attempting to address the racial problems, but LGBT discrimination isn't given much attention. We have formed an LGBT "affinity group" as have many of the ethnic minorities. Whereas their issues are treated seriously, ours are basically ignored. For example, many know there is an unofficial anti-gay "newsletter" written and circulated via email by a group that's been brought to mgt attention, but nothing's been done since we don't have a hard copy. Quiet slurs and so forth aren't endemic but not all that uncommon either.

Do you have any advice for us?

They rarely talk about god,
I though we were suppose to develope a relationship with god, not cower in fear of hell.

Goin' old school...

But on a serious note, if god is omnipotent, then why does he suffer who his followers would describe as foolish (like me)

Unless he decides to make a physical apperance, there is nothing anyone can say or do that will change my mind about the non-existance of a god.

Therefore, according to some of these lovely emails I've been getting recently, I am doomed to hell. So why does he allow me to continue to live?

This question is not meant to be in jest. I am curious what christians think about my statements.

Should he take a breather and come back refreshed? Should Selnyk and Jersey Rick give him a pep talk?

it really bothers me when i see people say bad things about my God. but i think it bothers me more to see christians be so hateful to gay people. a lot of people are sending the message that God hates them because of something they feel is the way they were born. their sexual orientation makes sense to them, and the idea that God created them that way, yet rejects them because of it, does not make sense to them. can you blame them for being angry? if this is how they see things, how can we expect to impress upon them the importance of a relationship with God? as a christian, it is my understanding that the most important thing we must ALL do is give our lives to the Lord. until we do this, we are all powerless to change anything about ourselves. if homosexuality is wrong, how can we even ask someone to change when they do not know God? and how will they ever know God, if the ony representation of Him they know, is from people who misrepresent Him?

I guess that isn't hard to believe since i'm only 15...but still..
anyways i do sorta wanna have a boyfriend. Well theres this guy who's sorta cute but not really my type 'cuz he acts really like thugish and he has a grill...lol. like he's not really bad becasue he comes to school every day and stuff. he's used to always like mess with me last year becasue he thought i was cute and like comment about my body and stuff...i never thought he would like me like for a girlfriend.
anyways the other day he text messaged me and was like "whats up with me and you"? and i just said, "i dont know..." so we talked about like nothing for a while and bassically every question he asked me i said i dont know...he was like "do you like my looks" and i was like "yeah" anywayy..um he asked me out to be his girlfriend and like i was confused since i liked him i guess but not really for a boyfriend, but i said i would go out with him. so now we are going out and...it just doesnt feel right. i think we moved into things too fast. i dont wanna break up in the first 2 days but i like another guy now...should i just start getting to know the other guy and when i really like him break up with my current "bf"?
