I write this not to professional homosexuals. That is to say, not to members of the well-funded, politically powerful homosexual activist lobby. They will mock and reject my words outright. They will twist and misrepresent what I say to further their own socio-political agenda. That’s fine. It’s to be expected. It merits little more than a yawn and an eye roll.
Instead, I write this to my fellow travelers in life – average, ordinary people, male and female, young and old – who happen to call themselves “gay.” I write this out of obedience to God.
It is my hope and prayer that you will consider what I have to say and take it at face value. My intentions are pure and my motives upright. If I can plant the seed of truth in just one person, and that seed begins to sprout, then I consider this letter a success.
I pray that you are that person.
What I write may offend you. It may even infuriate you. But I hope it makes you think. Know this: Your friends have lied to you. Christians do not hate you. We love you intensely. We love you because of who you are, not because of what you do or because of who you think you are.

As most of you are aware, the Supreme Court will probably rule on the constitutionality of The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (aka, Obamacare). Few of you probably realize that other actions are taking place in individual states that, are not only mandated by Obamacare, but are creating opportunities for abortions to be subsidized by taxpayers, as well.
As we wait for the highly anticipated verdict from the Supreme Court of the United States on the Obamacare case it seems more than appropriate to make sure we all know what’s at stake. This is about far more than health insurance. Yes, liberals want us to believe that Obamacare will somehow “fix” the broken health care system, but they certainly don’t want you to know what that “fix” will cost.
I’ve always heard that “leaders are readers.” So I try to do my part to read as much as I can. So now I want to do my part to try and pass on some articles that I believe are well worth the time you would spend reading them. As we learn and increase our awareness of critical issues I believe we will be in a better position to combat misleading and deceptive rhetoric. One area this is especially needed is on the issue of homosexuality.
Quite often, unless you can offer hard facts in the face of the never-ending onslaught of self-righteousness on the part of same-sex relationship advocates, it is difficult to succeed in changing minds. That should change for the better with the announcement of a definitive study showing beyond doubt that children in same-sex “family” arrangements suffer greater risks than those with traditional Mom-Dad families.
The debate over same-sex “marriage” is just beginning as it relates to the upcoming 2012 election. No doubt it will continue far beyond the election, but it will also play a major role in the outcome of the election as conservative, traditional marriage supporters seek to replace Obama and his staunch support for and advancement of the same-sex “marriage” issue. And one critical aspect to this debate that is touchy, at best, for many people, involves the children of same-sex couples.
