You need to talk to someone about all the anger you have. You can't say that all religious people hate gay people. That is like saying all white people are prejudice. Honey, I am glad you have someone to love you, not all Christian hate gays. I don't hate them, just don't agree with their lifestyle and wouldn't even if I wasn't a Christian. It isn't for anyone else to judge how others live. But we do have the right to not agree with it. I don't agree with some other Christian beliefs, but that doesn't mean I hate them.
And, not to put a damper on you, I already know you are mad, but it is in the Bible that you shouldn't be gay. Read Leviticus. Man should not lay with man like a woman. There is also another verse that says if a man lays with another man like a woman they shall surly die. So, that is why people are against it. Also, it just isn't natural.
I am glad though that your two fathers take such good care of you. Every child needs two loving parents no matte who they are.

As a Christian I can say that I do not hate gay people. The problem with most Christians is they cannot seperate the sin from the person. Although I still believe that it is a sin, that is no reason for me to hate anyone over it. In the Bible it states to love the sinner, but to hate the sin. It also talks about being careful about what you say to others and the words you use. For example the word hate has the meaning of wanting a person dead, that in your heart you have killed them in using that word. That is why I try to be Christ-like and not hate anyone, but show them love as Christ did. Do not beat up on all of us Christians, remember in the Bible it was Christ that defended the prostitute and ask those without sin to cast the first stone and no one could. Now grant it she turned away from her life and started to follow Christ, but he did defend her which showed more grace, love and mercy.
I do have several gay friends and one happens to be a Christian themself. Although he does not practice anymore as he feels convincted about it, he does struggle. But believe me when I tell you that I love him and have no hate in my heart towards him.
I am sure that your dads love you and were great at raising you. I am sorry that your mom left you behind, that is truly sad. I hope you do not think that I am being saracastic or mean this is any way that you could take bad, but I will be praying for you.

Answers is really not the place to vent your hate for Christians or your mother.
You should listen to Christians talk about their position on homosexuality instead of listening to the propaganda that non-Christians have fed you about what we think of homosexuals.
You will find consensus in the Christian community that they do not hate homosexuals. Christians love homosexuals just like they love other people. Because they care about homosexuals, they have a responsiblity to let homosexuals know that they are hurting themselves with their lifestyle choice. For example, half a million gay men have AIDS while only about 25,000 straight men have AIDS. We do not want more gay men to die, so we tell them that their actions have repercussions. The Christian message is not one of hate, but one of love. Homosexuals just like everyone else can have much better lives if they live more Godly lives and even better accept the free gift of Jesus' sacrifice for them. You and your mother would both benefit from this also. Your anger and her issues should be laid at Christ's feet. Let Him carry the burden for both of you.

First of all AS a CHRISTAIN I would like to apologized to people who have offend you and sent those letters. They were wrong for harassing you and should know that yes we're all humans and make mistakes. Two wrongs don't make a right. Though it's not just the bible and my religion it's the natural order of things. Sexuality is meant for intimacy and reproduction between a man & woman... There is no way men can reproduce and the fact that they decided to change their sexuality forf more pleasure is sickning. I really don't understand why gay couples decide to go beyond the friendship and look for that. It's wrong. I don't mean to bash you and I don't want to offend you more. Please understand changing your sexuality isn't the answer for love. If you wait for that man to come find you or wait for that woman to come into your life.Are a virgin when you marry, you'll be loved and highly prized like never before.

well, first of all, take a deep breath. there are a lot of people out there who feel as you do. i am one of them. sadly, all you ever hear about, and all you ever hear from, are the bigots who love to hate anyone who disagrees with them.
they are blind fools, who don't realize they are missing out on some of the best things in life, and some of the most beautiful, like the love you just described from your dads, and the love that you have for them. sadly, they are also the fools that think children are better off going through the system, from foster home to foster home, from institution to institution, than finding a loving home with people like your dads. don't worry, there are fewer and fewer of them every generation and pretty soon the world will be a very different place.
my advice to you is, when they get a letter like that again, get together, all three of you, and tell yourselves anyone who spreads hate like that is blind and evil and read through the letter with that in mind. laugh at their insults and they will lose the power to hurt you. then celebrate burning it, or taring it to shreds. make it a special occasion. heck, make it a family holiday... the day you learned not to give a damm what those hate-mongers think... the day you stopped letting them get to you.. celebrate it by telling each other how happy you are to be together and how proud you are of each other.
close minded people are a cancer, but fortunately, though it is hard, you can keep it from taking over and destroying your happiness.

I don't hate homosexuals any more than I hate soemone who has a problem with greed, for example. Homosexuality is a sin, but everybody sins and God said that to Him, all sins are just as bad. Its just as much of a sin to look down on people for sinning as it is to rob a bank, for example, if anything more because its hypocritical in the extreme. You're right, a lot of "Christians" hate the person and not the sin. I think a lot of us Christians need to remember the parable about removing the 2x4 from your own eye before remmoving the speck of sawdust from you brother's.

First of all, calm down. People who "hate" you and your loving dads are not "christian", they are taking THEIR own dogma and pushing it onto you.
I for one am a Christian, and I hate many things, but certainly not homosexuals. I understand that they are human, and they are either born, or have chosen, their own path. I do not necessarily "approve" of the homosexual lifestyle, but that has nothing to do with my faith, it is my understanding of psychology; but I certainly don't hate them, and I have plenty of gay friends who, even though I understand the detriments of their lifestyle to the universal psychology, I certainly don't belittle them or "disapprove" of them for them.
But as I stated before, "Christians" who send you nasty letters or hate mail and such are not being Christian...even Christ said that those without sin cast the first stone. And I certainly am not sinless, and I frankly have my own sexual proclivities that are seen as "wrong" to some.
I applaud the fact that your dads are loving to you and have provided a happy home for you...if only everyone was as lucky as you...and I'm sorry that some spit on that. Be wary of those that wear the mask of self-righteousness...for there is none so evil a mask as that. Hug your dads for me...a Christian that is open-minded enough not to hate.

why do you hate homosexual people?--umm, I don't
what did they ever do to you?--who did what to me...huh
are HATE YOU letters from people like you!--people like me? I seriously doubt that. There ain't no one like me, sister. And if you'd shut up for two seconds ya' might understand that.
I understand you are hurt and angry, but do not take your anger out on me, or him, or that person over there, that cat, that dog...whatever.
Ever heard the saying you get better results using honey than vinegar? so shut up and listen to the world around you for once, instead of thinking that whole place is all about you and how you are treated unfair. (By you I mean the extention of you that is your father)
So if you spit on me, sweetie, your'e really spitting on everything that is an extention of me. Thanks, now I have a hate letter of my own.

First of all I don't hate gay people. My uncle is gay and I love him very much. I don't hate anyone. Don't assume just because someone is a Christian (I know that's who you were talking about)that they hate gay people. Furthermore, God loves you more than anyone every will, including your 2 dads. I have no control over other people's sins and I don't judge because I am sin full and imperfect. We all need Christ and he is the only one who can take the sin away. Now please don't assume or jump to any conclusions about Christian people. Most of us truly do respect and care about people.

I don't hate them.
I feel sorry for the people who do though. They are missing out on knowing some of the most loving and caring people in the world, who would give the shirt off their backs to someone in need. Many of them exhibit more of these Christ-like qualities than many people who call themselves Christian.
