- Well! There was a time when I _thought_ I didn't want to be homosexual.
- As I discovered, it wasn't because I wanted to be straight, it was because
- the Christians messed me up so much that I was ashamed of being gay!
- (Yes, I did read a book called _You Don't Have to be Gay_)

- I suppose some of these same people have been so brainwashed by Christian
- groups that they can't accept themselves. Granted, maybe some don't
- want to be gay, and more power to them. But that doesn't mean that the
- rest of us want to be straight.
