The same-sex attraction has been there over the years and it&#39;s something I definitely never wanted for myself.<br /><br />Being same-sex attracted may not be my fault, but acting on it IS. As to discrimination against gays, there is such a thing as just versus unjust discrimination. Obviously, I&#39;m against unjust discrimination. This is rather a lengthy topic to discuss here. I hope I can expound on this more a little bit in the future.<br /><br />I do not personally believe that a person&#39;s identity should be defined by what he or she struggles with. My identity originates from God because He is the one who created me in His image and likeness. That is my true identity; all other self-labels are my false self, my false identity. <br /><br />I must admit that having SSA is a cross, but everyone has a cross. Everyone has some sort of temptation that he or she struggles with and ours is not totally different.<br /><br />What would spell the difference in the end is your attitude towards this cross. Will I still strive to be faithful to God despite my struggles? Or will I just live my life the way I want it apart from Him? In the end, it&#39;s still a choice and I&#39;m confident that if I choose God, even if it&#39;s difficult, I&#39;m treading the right path.GoingStraighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08964172996955193103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6896943830076044595.post-2195907974579465132011-03-01T10:50:03.593+08:002011-03-01T10:50:03.593+08:00I was at the SMX for the Real Love Revolution talk of Jason Evert with some friends..... it was a very wonderful discussion and I Praise God for Jason Evert&#39;s strength to stand and speak of these matters.Truly the Lord knows who to choose to be a mouthpiece. <br /><br />Thanks Jason =) God speed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6896943830076044595.post-42948253502875314132011-02-25T10:32:28.115+08:002011-02-25T10:32:28.115+08:00I just wanted to add, I just noticed you are in the Philippines.

Other then in passing thinking a good-looking man was good-looking. Not being turned on by him just maybe a pang of jealousy when I look at myself and see I am overweight. <br /><br />However I will say to you, most everyone has gay or lesbian thoughts at some point in there lives, and most everyone considers their sexuality and wonders about it. What you are going through is a normal part of being a person. I can tell you, it is our choices that determine who we are and what kind of person, not our thoughts. <br /><br />My point about Asia was not about the gay lifestyle being exciting. It was about it being accepted and lesbians and gays not being condemned because of it.<br /><br />I grew up in redneck Canada, where if someone was openly gay they would of probably gotten daily beatings because of it. <br /><br />So what I am saying is the average person here here in Thailand gives very little though about it. They accept someone else&#39;s choices and mind their own business.Addiction Treatment Guyhttp://alcoholrehab.com/international-rehab/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6896943830076044595.post-79234476035299991322011-02-25T08:47:44.030+08:002011-02-25T08:47:44.030+08:00@ Addiction Treatment Guy<br /><br />The gay life may seem &#39;exciting and full of fun&#39; to you but we all know it&#39;s just all a facade. Deep inside a gay man&#39;s heart he longs for something greater - something that his lifestyle cannot give, and that is being at peace with yourself. I may be struggling with SSA but I don&#39;t make it my &#39;identity&#39;, because my truest identity lies on Him who created me and not any struggles I am currently going through. There I find peace and comfort that the world cannot give me.GoingStraighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08964172996955193103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6896943830076044595.post-49570890876095942272011-02-24T14:10:32.952+08:002011-02-24T14:10:32.952+08:00I am glad I stumbled upon your blog since it reminds me of my time living in the west where the culture is so strongly influenced by the Christian church. <br /><br />I live in Asia now where it is predominately Buddhist. You can see the difference daily, since homosexuality is accepted and society does not really frown or it or condemn it. Strangely enough I would say the average gay person in Thailand is a lot happier then in the USA. Nobody judges them and they get on with their business and go about their lives.Addiction Treatment Guyhttp://alcoholrehab.com/international-rehab/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6896943830076044595.post-69299063649532128832011-01-16T07:33:10.170+08:002011-01-16T07:33:10.170+08:00Naturgesetz: Catholic and Homosexual<br /><br />I accept the teachings of the Catholic Church on homosexuality, and I hope to help people understand what those teachings are and are not.

I havent updated this blog for some time now because Im focusing on our new group blog. You can visit us at this web address:<BR/><BR/>www.couragephilippines.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/><BR/>God bless.GoingStraighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08964172996955193103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6896943830076044595.post-86688316225748791472009-04-01T02:06:00.000+08:002009-04-01T02:06:00.000+08:00First, let me applaud your quest to align your life with God. So few people today follow the motto of "Doing it My Way". <BR/><BR/>In reading your post on poverty I felt compelled to bring up a couple of points that might be worth considering. i noticed you feel that povery is something that is determined by God, that he makes one rich or poor. It's true that no man will be able to solve poverty. <BR/><BR/> Interestingly when God created Adam and Eve he intended for them to have a wonderful life in Paradise; in perfect health under perfect conditions. Until Satan intervened and messed it up for everyone. But back to our Creator; The Bible describes the Creator of mankind as “the One giving bread to the hungry ones.” (Psalm 146:7) It contains over one hundred verses that highlight God’s concern for the poor. True, Jesus said, "You have the poor always with you," but we should not conclude from these words that there is no hope for the needy. <BR/><BR/>The Bible promises: "Not always will the poor one be forgotten, nor will the hope of the meek ones ever perish." (Psalm 9:18) Since Satan came up with the idea to present to Eve that man could rule themselves and that God was witholding this from them, God is allowing time to prove whether man can rule themselves...and the answer is quite obvious. However the Bible points to a time when Satan will be destroyed and earth will return to a paradise. (Rev. 21:3,4)<BR/><BR/> Evildoers themselves will be cut off, but those hoping in Yaweh are the ones that will <B> posess the earth."</B>—Psalm 37:9.<BR/><BR/>"The upright are the ones that will <B> reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it."</B>—Proverbs 2:21, 22.<BR/><BR/>Hope this puts a postive spin on the poverty issue. God doesn't incur poverty, illness, death, etc..., Satan does. He intends to go back to his original purpose of life on a paradise earth. After all, who of us can decide on a day we want to die and leave this earth? We do all we can to prolong our life here. It's what was builty into us...<BR/><BR/>Here's further info taken from the Bible- http://www.watchtower.org/e/20001001/article_02.htmLorrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09536527552767596341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6896943830076044595.post-32427502392943681812009-03-20T08:38:00.000+08:002009-03-20T08:38:00.000+08:00Hi Mitchell,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for dropping by and for sharing your thoughts.<BR/><BR/>I'm quite curious though as to your statement. You said you're not gay, but you recently viewed homosexual porn and seem to be attracted to it.<BR/><BR/>That's one of the areas of my struggle too. At this point, I want to recommend a blog that I am following that you might find helpful. Please visit:<BR/><BR/>www.covenanteyes.com/blog/<BR/><BR/>This blog focuses mainly on sexual purity and the porn addiction. Im sure you will find it useful.GoingStraighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08964172996955193103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6896943830076044595.post-1844572093770630342009-03-14T00:57:00.000+08:002009-03-14T00:57:00.000+08:00I'm not sure why I am on this site, but I want to encourage you to keep trusting God. I am not gay and I am not Catholic, but I am struggling with sexual sin. A very good friend of mine in college was gay and I know what struggles he went through. I remember the first time he told me and asked me if I would as a friend support him through his struggles. Also, I have recently viewed some homosexual pornography and seem to be attracted to seeing other guys act out sexual acts for some reason. So, I guess I'm just saying that I want you to know that what you are doing is a good thing and that you are not alone in your struggles.Mitchellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02863496404022536636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6896943830076044595.post-52121508938262106902009-02-13T09:48:00.000+08:002009-02-13T09:48:00.000+08:00Hi Anonymous:<BR/><BR/>I'm happy to know that I was able to share this good news to all those who are struggling out there. Thank you for your courage in speaking up about this serious matter.<BR/><BR/>I hope you'll be able to read this. I'm sorry for the late reply. Right now, I just finished the new Courage Philippines blog. You can help this struggling family by referring them to a local Courage chapter near your place. By the way where are you located? If you have visited the main Courage website there is a link there of all the Courage chapters around the world.<BR/><BR/>Homosexuality is a complicated issues, especially for those who are already bound in marriage. Please pray much for this family. If I can be of help to this family, feel free to contact me or just leave a message here.<BR/><BR/>Thanks and God bless you.GoingStraighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08964172996955193103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6896943830076044595.post-59941534012673918822009-02-07T07:10:00.000+08:002009-02-07T07:10:00.000+08:00I just learned that Courage exists. My husband and I just learned that our brother-in-law, his sister's husband, if have a sexual relationship with another man. We are very troubled because she has given him her blessing to pursue this relationship, has welcome her husband's boyfriend to their home for dinner and to interact with their children. As she puts it, he is becoming a "fixed" part of their family. From where we are standing, she is trying to be very tolerant, but is getting increasingly insecure and confused. To be "fair" as they put it, she has begun pursuing other men. Please pray for them. Thank you for letting me blog here, just knowing others understand how homosexuality can affect the family is so helpful. Thank you for sharing your story, we are very grateful to not be so alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6896943830076044595.post-38270913115132233242009-01-30T21:03:00.000+08:002009-01-30T21:03:00.000+08:00spotted a don bosco's famous quotation in this entry..
