But not ONE word did I read in that apology that said it was o.k. to have homosexual relationships. He carefully states that he has come to the conclusion that God loves him as he is, but he never states that the whole purpose of the group - to stop homosexuals from having homosexual relationships - is wrong. He admits he has sexual thoughts about other men. But he is still with his wife. He admits that their methodology was wrong, but he never says that their basic mission was wrong. He never says it is o.k. to be gay. <br /><br />Did I miss something? Or did anyone else read between the lines as I did?<br /><br />hedgewytchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-3955262855623559562013-06-21T08:05:41.228-08:002013-06-21T08:05:41.228-08:006:49 PM No matter how much you kiss the asses of t...6:49 PM No matter how much you kiss the asses of the Palins, you are still too CRAZY to be one of Todd Palin's Prostitutes.

I know that they can still rely on Jesus and that Jesus loves them. The Lord created them, and He is faithful and always has the answers, not man, and if that homosexual person has a thirst for God, he'll find Him, and can have relationship with Him. I am sure it must be a hellish road for so many who've been used and exploited and how so many self-righteous cannot put themselves in other's shoes.
