Setting the Scene: Disclaimer

If you are interested in what I have to say, you may very well have spent many hours agonizing over your life.
To be fair to you, I must make it clear that, whereas I used to be gay, now I am a Christian in the "traditional" sense, in that I do not believe it is reasonably possible to reconcile active homosexuality as a lifestyle with the lifestyle of being a follower of Jesus.
For the purposes of this website, my position is clear and I am not prepared to dicuss it. (There is respectful dialogue at Bridges Across) I am prepared to say this: in my opinion we cannot get away from the facts: God made us men and women, and every discussion on sexual relationship in the Bible, every description of us a mirror of the Almighty, as his image, describes us as relating to each other as male and female.
So I want to tell honestly of what it means to follow the path to which I believe we have all been called, homo- as well as heterosexual: the path of submission of our sexuality to Christ. It is not an easy path.
