Please?!?!?! If you don't or can't accept what or who you are then you can't fully live. One of my favorite quotes is "There is no future, there is no past. I live each moment as my last. There's no day but today". Ironic, that came from RENT, which was about drug addiciton, HIV and homosexuality (for those who didn't know). Who cares if we are diabetic or what anyones sexual preference is? It doesn't change who we are or what we believe. I'm not gay, but I have alot of gay friends. Does that change how people feel about me? If so, I'm sorry. Because I hate to lose friends, but this is your problem, not mine. EXCUSE ME! As a person with Diabetes who just *happens* to be homosexual, I am greatly offended by the statements in your post. I did NOT choose this lifestyle either. Do you honestly think I would choose to be beaten every <!--more--> day in school, and denied housing or employment because of my CHOICE? I cannot "recover" from my sexual preference any more than you can wake up tomorrow and *decide* to change yours. THIS WAS NOT A CHOICE. This is who and what I am, what GOD made me, what my DNA made me. My fundamentalist father accepts and loves me. Your statements are ignorant and hurtful. Please don't hate me just because I am gay, your child may be as well.
