dixie5150 Wow, I have to kind of disagree with you there. If it's a sin just like any other sin, will my smoking and occasional potty mouth (when the old temper hits) keep me out of heaven? I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one. I respect your view...

dixie5150 You'll have to excuse me, I must be reading that wrong because looking at your past posts it's clear that you believe they can be saved.

dixie5150 You have confused me. You said we're not talking about people who are saved, do you not believe that gay people can be saved? I thought you agreed that homosexuality is sin, just like any other sin?

dixie5150 There are several scriptures that make me believe all sin is a choice once you are saved. My favorite is 1Cor 10:13, He gives us a way out of all temptation. I believe we all have sin in our lives but we can't change it ourselves (John 15:5), God has to...

dixie5150 I absolutely love all the old Rock Hudson, Doris Day movies, ALL of them! But on a more recent note "The Notebook" was a great movie.

dixie5150 This is just my opinion, but before the stealth bomber came out to the public a lot of people who saw it being tested thought it was a UFO. And it seems like all the strange sightings usually happen somewhere where there is a base around (or a bar). But maybe...

dixie5150 I think women can get away with a lot more then the men do. But look at you, you even say you're okay with the few gay men you know who serve. I think it's more a fear of the unknown or of the stereotype flamer. It was the same way when blacks and women were...

Do you believe in love at first sight or lust at first sight? When do you know you found love and is love forever?

lust

dixie5150 All that googly stuff at first is nothing but lust. I don't believe love is a feeling. It's putting someone else's needs and wants before your own. When two people do that for eachother, it will last forever. When it's one sided, who knows how long it will...

dixie5150 I don't have any great answeres to the problem either. The only reason I bring up the barracks issue is because everybody is so concerned anymore with being politically correct anymore that it seems like that would be an issue. You know somebody out there...

dixie5150 I thought they could get kicked out if caught in a gay bar or even kissing another man? Maybe things have changed a lot since my husband got out. And the I find it surprising that a feminine man joined and made it thru boot. I'm curious, was he just feminine...

dixie5150 Hey I like wacko pentacostal churches, you get a good workout there :)! Since I am not gay, and since many of my friends have said the same thing to me that you just did about choice, I really don't understand it. My beliefs on it being a choice is strictly...

dixie5150 I understand what you are saying, and Tee up above feels the same way about the distraction of it all. But I have to tell you, I doubt a "feminine" gay man would want to serve and I doubt they would make it thru boot, same as an overly feminine female would...

dixie5150 As far as the women being more accepting, It's just my experience with it. I was a hairdresser for 20 years and when there was a group of women with a lesbian in the group no one was uncomfortable. But throw a gay man in a group of straight men and all of a...

dixie5150 Wow, when did that change? I remember in the late 80's early 90's it was seperate barracks. Or is that just a bad memory on my part? Just to understand your side a little better, you have to know you are already serving with gay men who are just keeping it...

dixie5150 I agree with most of what you are saying. I think many of us (inclucing myself) may be underestimating our military. But I still think the stereotyping of gays has to be changed before a policy change can happen. Then again maybe the change has to happen...
