Sins?

I have started over on this post several times in an hour's time. Each one starting differently. But all in the contexts of hatred and frustration. I then have taken another hour in editing and revising what I've chosen to write. It is not great. It's not master piece. But it's my feelings. So here it is, a blog that took 3 hours to write and a few weeks to rest on before publishing to the internet.

I am Gay. I am a good person. For a very long time I was scared to say both of those sentences. The first one I was scared to say because I believed I would be cast out from my family, friends and church. The second sentence, I was scared to say because I didn't know that I was. I never thought that those two sentences could ever work to describe one person. Being gay was a sin, and good people don't sin.

This is false. Most sins are mistakes. Mistakes that make people grow and better themselves. And being gay is not a sin, NOR is it a "lifestyle." It is simply that way you are. Gay, straight or bisexual. God delivered you as such. Let no man tell you are "unnatural." The unnatural truth is for you to deny how you feel.

We live in a land and age that is meant for every person to be able to live their own life without fear. Change is needed. How can we as a society claim to be a righteous and equal land, when we grant rights to some, while denying them to others? How is that fair?

I'm tired of crying alone at night. I can not handle reading of another teenager's life been taken away at a young age. We as a society, can and need to change the behavior that is out there.
