Love Won Out - aka what a joke

Recap [ So Im at Love Won Out right now just finished with the first part on male homosexuality and it was a joke. Making one semi valid point then 8, crazy, non-valid points. Ill have to go into more detail later. Just some stuff for now though.... Homosexuality being a condition/orientation. And then when talking about how all other sins should be the same (valid point) saying sins such as adultery, rape, and incest along with homosexuality (are we trying to make a link here, i guess thats a more of a sale techquine but same principles) more to come later]

Well that was just the first part, then came the break out sessions

Faith Under Fire

This one was talking about how anything talking about anything gay should be kept from being taught in schools, such as gay relationships and gay sex, and in depth gay psychology. And how teaching young kids about these things and pressing the gay issues on them is wrong. Now dont get me wrong, i dont think 6yr olds should know all the ins and out of sex in graphic detail (no pun intended). I do feel like people should be able to get both sides of everything and then be able to choose for themselves.

Gay Marriage

Ya just stupid, they said that if gay marriage was allowed that it would open doors like marrying animals and, relitives marrying each other, and people marrying underage kids. Yada Yada Yada, just a bunch of stupid stuff. And saying how the first Gay couple to get married choose to keep an open relationship, (not the best start to the first gay marriage) But i guess its better than cheating behind your sposes back. As well as many people are getting devorced these days so what kinda of holy tradition are we ruining.

Youth Break Out

They deff. mind fuck the young ones here. Talking about their relationship with God, when most kids this age are already going through trials with religion and such, and then adding Gay upon that, and asking them upon that makes things worse. Then later they talked about gender roles and how certain where male and others were female, and how the guys should focus on the male roles (responible, steady, stong, head of house) and the girls should focus on the female role (caring, nuturing, emotional, and such) They asked us which fits us best, i said that im right in the middle. and they asked which gender roles i had, i said, well everyone has all of them, it just depeneds to what ammount, if a guy has more female roles, that doesnt make him gay, and if a girl has more male roles that doesnt make her lesbian. but they tried to play it off like it did, and if you focused on your own gender roles hard enough that it would fit you. So between that and just spewing bible verses out there ass to tell them being gay is wrong

Exodus International

aka Gay Fixing, they dont like the term, Ex-gay, they feel like they were never gay, that they just stuggled with same-sex attaction. (wait isnt that Gay???) and yes i do think everyone deals with this in some fashion, or having a currious moment in your life about the same sex, i believe that everyone has them, and thats ok. But srly, trying to not be Gay that really doesnt work, and God bless those who it does work for and such. But sadly for most, it just messes thier lives up more.


So in the end i want to talk about some people that were there -
There was one lady that found out her husband was seeing a guy behind her back, (sad yes) mainly cause socitiey and religion has told him that is bad and wrong. She confronted her husband about it, and he denied it, so she came to the conference to get help for him, and pray for him. (PS he is prob not going to change unless he wants to)
Another girl said she was stuggling with same-sex attraction for a while, trying to run away from it and then embracing it, and then saying it wasnt for her, and talked about rasing a child and how she couldnt tell the child about Jesus and God when she was living a life of sin.

These were just a few of my thoughts (just scratching the surrface of it all) upon the whole conference. I will have to post more about it later.
