Happy AIDS are Here AGAIN!

Satisfaction, true happiness and living life in the most profound way almost always come from the inside - by reaching for the positive elements that are inside us and are in our control - and learning to appreciate, love, nourish and cherish them living with AIDS.

Homosexual thou art in Heaven

I had gotten this very touching letter today whose name I will withold and realized the work I had done with Gays and God was still reaching out to others. So attached is the link to my "ancient" website-1995 still up and still helping others.
God Be with you all,
Thom collins


I too was saved in the Baptist church, at VBS. As years went by, my
sisters and I stopped going, but I still had a burning inside, so we
started to go to another Baptist church. One of my sisters had been
baptized there, and the other sister had her first marriage there. I
never did get baptized there. I knew I was attracted to other males
from at least the 6th grade, but didn't know what it meant. In high
school I finally learned about homosexuality but didn't know where to
meet any. At 23 I went to a Pentecostal church for five years. I did
get baptized there. Towards the end of the five years was when I had
my first gay experience (not with someone from the church). I tried to
talk to the Deacon that was over the ushers (I was lay head of the
ushers, as well as worked in the bus ministry). He was always too
busy. Finally, on New Years Eve 1980, after midnight service, he
invited me home with his family, and then he wanted to discuss my
problems. I never went back to that church. I still consider myself a
born again Christian, but have not found a church I am comfortable in
(I won't go just for the sake of going, I need for the message to speak
to me). I did find an online group that I visit from time to time
called Gay Christian Outreach. It is an MSN group. It is led by a
young gay man named Brandon, who studied to be a minister at the
Assemblies of God school in Springfield, MO. He does maintain some of
the strictness taught by the Evangelicals - such as pornography is
bad, even if you are single.

There also is a Southern Gospel singer who 'came out' but then had to undergo a public cleansing
because no one in the Christian recording industry wanted to have anything to do with him. So now
he considers himself to be an ex-gay (he must be living as great a hell on earth as when he was hiding
his homosexuality).
