He wouldn't exclude you for being straight, or he wouldn't have gone with your group. However, he might exclude you from future gatherings for being a judgmental bigot.<br />--CheeseherselfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729080532188674868.post-92229657253060631122014-04-01T12:06:59.446-06:002014-04-01T12:06:59.446-06:00Echoing J=Dawg Fluffy - I don't always agree w...Echoing J=Dawg Fluffy - I don't always agree with your advice, but you're spot on with this one.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943121830407821394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729080532188674868.post-57770895022476078342014-04-01T06:18:45.750-06:002014-04-01T06:18:45.750-06:00What a wonderful answer to her post!

What better way than to have people of differing beliefs into our homes to enjoy a Christlike atmosphere with kind people, and a chance to feel the Spirit.notice happy thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701418462186069543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729080532188674868.post-4076032220591702282014-03-31T20:58:13.079-06:002014-03-31T20:58:13.079-06:00It's been along time since I"ve agreed wi...It's been along time since I"ve agreed with your advice, but good job on this one Jo. <br /><br />I lived with two gay men ( they were not together; one was the landlord and one was renting the other room in the house) back in Florida. Despite the beliefs of some people, they weren't throwing wild disco sex-parties every weekend. The most exciting thing that would happen is once a week a few people would come over, they'd all have a nice dinner, and then talk for hours. Now, there were some issues, (I can't tell you how many time's I would here them say I couldn't know any better than to not do whatever because I'm straight) but overall, they were just regular people trying to survive. <br /><br />Utah leads the country in gay GLBT homelessness and suicide. As much as I hate to say it, people like this are the reason why. <br /><br />Whether or not we realize it, sexuality is a vital part of our self-identity. Treatign people this badly is not Christlike in any way.

And perhaps that was her concern.<br /><br />It is a valid one.<br /><br />But that doesn't change my advice to her.<br /><br />Of course, people can behave boorishly regardless of gender or sexual preference.<br /><br />It's my hope that ALL of US carry ourselves with dignity and are polite guests and gracious hosts whenever the opportunity arises.<br /><br />Let us not chase away those holding stones by throwing stones at them.<br /><br />- Bro Jo<br /><br />Bro Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525964417706399553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729080532188674868.post-72363830426525481302014-03-31T11:35:49.849-06:002014-03-31T11:35:49.849-06:00This girl makes it sound like her friend's dat...This girl makes it sound like her friend's date is going to be hitting on every boy in attendance. Those with Same-sex attractions are just like anyone else - Does "Extremely Overwhelmed" want to date/flirt with/want to have sex with every single boy she sees? No. The same will be true for this boy. <br /><br />He'll feel just as uncomfortable in the group as they feel towards him, so if they welcome him with open arms, it'll be a fun, casual night for everyone! If there is an air of awkwardness, or a desire to have him not be there, he'll inevitable pick up on that too, and the evening may be ruined for both him and his date.<br /><br />Hate only perpetuates more hate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8729080532188674868.post-7069465085687162072014-03-31T10:24:30.381-06:002014-03-31T10:24:30.381-06:00Bravo!!!!
