Having a strong committment to a beleif system and faith structures is commenadable in anyone Newleaf. Blatant bigotry is however, not an admireable quality at all. Afterall, I live in a little country where such attitudes kill, maim and destroy lives. If your truth directs me to hell, along side of murderers and rapists and the dregs of society...so be it! But is it necessary that you publicly condemn with such fervour?? What gives any of us the right to be so damning?
In my time in these forums....I have been respectable to everyones beliefs and faith. I do not flaunt my sexuality as some badge of honour..I am what I am...you are what you are and at the end of the day we both know who we are answerable to.
Instinctively...I find it hard to swallow what you claim to be sorry about.
Be happy in knowing that you have made the forums an unsafe place for women like me.
Be happy in knowing that if I was in a public realtime situation with such attutudes...I would get to heck away from the situation. You have no need to tire or take such a hard line publicly from this point, as I will not put myself in front of the firing squad for no one.

Let this be an end to this thread....leave me with some dignity intact.
