I (rex) say
Jeff, Kevin, All:
I am confident of where "home is".
The threat felt was that of violence, I must be a magnet.
Beside the young man I tried to help, I've had to nurse my
wife thru a really scary night when someone "roofie" spiked
a drink they thought was mine. I went to the bar ordered my wife's
glass of wine, got distracted,... then I ... ("I") delivered it to my wife.
Talk about a "Hate" crime.... I would have killed whoever did it
and their accomplice, with my bare hands if I would have known who
did it !!! We were in unfamiliar territory, out of town.

Not sure it would have been a crime though, I'd call it self-defense,
and there is no way in heaven I'd have left her side to go looking.
That will never happen again, I WILL punch out the guy that tries
to distract or turn ME around from a freshly poured drink, and
explain later.

Do you know where I'm coming from?

Yes, I'm now able to make light, somewhat, of Kevin's post above.
I can take it. I believe the intent was one of jest, or a good natured
find out where I've been.
But this is pretty serious stuff to me!

The word "Religion" is almost always misused. The sect of religion is a 
choice,
I chose a sect to follow based on merit and personal values. I chose none at 
all
for thirty years because I wanted to "Par-tay" and didn't want a conscience 
that
would get in the way of my lust, or keep me from having a good time.
I'm not religious, ... I have a living, breathing, "Relationship" with 
Adonai (G*D).

The word orientation is synonymous with direction. At one time or another we 
all
choose or have forced upon us our own orientation. It's still a direction 
that can
be changed, deny it or not. Maybe we felt uncomfortable with girls, or guys,
or found a particular sex threatening, or witnessed violence, or have been 
abused.
Maybe we feel more comfortable or at ease with those of our own sex.

Paul, who was Saul, once said I am the chief of sinners. He had come to the 
realization
that the job given to him by the high priests was sin. His job was to kill 
the followers of
Yeshua (Jesus). Now, I'll say it, I am the chief of all sinners, I say that 
because I have lied,
lusted, stolen, adultered, and caused harm upon others .... It goes on and 
on and on.
It is true, because I have done things that have gone againsed G*Ds 
commands.

We all sin. Those living a homosexual life are included in this. Their sin 
is NOT
worse than my sin, it's just diferent than my sin. It is also no harder to 
change ones
sexual orientation than it is for me to stop lusting after another mans 
wife. For that
reason I know it can be done.

They are BOTH hard to do!
Many will "claim" that it's impossible.
"I know better"
