Just curious, LisaC, if we were to remove the phrase "homosexuality" and insert the phrase "abortion" in this topic, would your stance be the same?
Yes, there is a time and place to discuss my views on abortion too. I work in a very liberal environment and have to bite my tongue until it bleeds at times.
But, what if they dismissed your viewpoint as antiquated, thought the hang up on the issue is yours.
Again, it is a time and place situation. But, if you are referring to this board, then I will discuss my views and will openly tell my friends why I think they are wrong and they can tell me why they think I'm wrong. We don't have to agree, but we can debate the issues to the brink of insanity sometimes and get a little "irrational" at other times. At the end of the day, we can still walk away as friends and with love in our hearts (although it may take some of us a day or two to get over it). ;D
The really cool thing is that over the past few weeks, we have had some great discussions about religion and homosexuality and it hasn't turned into a he said/she said/blame BBG fight. And that alone speaks volumes about how far we have come from just a few short months ago!!
