[Tink]

Janet, one of my best friends since jr high was a gay man. He was in a committed relationship for well over 20 yrs with another man. He helped raise the other mans 3 children and considered that one of his proudest accomplishments. He passed away over a yr ago.

I had some long discussions with my friend about this very topic. He too was a very decent, loving person who had a deep religious faith. I've decided that us mortals have no way of knowing who will or will not go to heaven. It's not up to us to judge or know. Since God has granted us total forgiveness just for the asking, I think heaven is obtainable by any who seek it.

I agree with you that people don't "choose" to be homosexual. It's how they are... born or developing. God loves them as much as He loves all of His children.
