When the Intolerant Kill Christmas: My Gay Friend's Holiday Story He's a former soldier who worked on some of the most classified missions the military had going -- and despite my criticism of the Bush administration on its invasion of Iraq, I know that my friend had a hand in successfully delivering some of the world's real bad guys to the next world -- both in Afghanistan and Iraq. He reads my blog -- and he has kept an open mind about some of my criticisms of this administration and the national security course it has been on.

HIV: Africa - Testimonies From HIV/AIDS I am a secondary school teacher and so was my husband. Sometime in 1990, he started to fall sick and by 1991 his health was really deteriorating, but we didn't understand why. He moved to Arua from Koboko where we were both teaching but it didn't help. He started getting rashes, like people who have leprosy here, and he got much sicker. I had been away on a course and I knew the signs and symptoms of AIDS. I said that he should get tested but he was very hurt. He said, "You are my wife, why do you come to me with such suspicion." But in his heart he knew he had AIDS.

I was not sick at that time when i decided to take a test. I just told my self to go and test. I think it was all God's work. I don't know where i got that strength because i was very strong.

HIV: Personal stories of men living with HIV Hi my name is Russell a white 20 year old male. What am about to write is a true story about me finding out that I have HIV (Some events have been left out and some names changed), and the truth of what am going though now and back when I found out…

HIV and AIDS in the family June 6th the most devastating news a mother could hear was “I am HIV Positive”. It is now a week later and the socked in the gut feeling has subsided but the tears have now let lose. I broke down today in the Borders bookstore after finding out that none of the bookstores carry any books on HIV and living with this disease. I got socked in the gut again realizing that the stigma is alive and well in the tidy suburbia where neighbors will close their doors and minds to a mother’s grief.

HIV: Personal stories from Africa Africa has been affected by HIV/AIDS far more than any other continent. At the end of 2007 it was estimated that 22.5 million of the 33.2 million people in the world who are living with HIV were in sub-Saharan Africa. However the vast majority of people living in Africa still have no access to antiretroviral drugs for the treatment of AIDS.

God’s Design for Generous Love The best justification for religion I ever heard was that religion functions to give meaning to ordinary things and to perfect our love in the face of death. [Wisdom of the Body: Making Sense of Our Sexuality] touches both of those fronts: It summarizes and evaluates the meanings given to various sexualities by Catholic tradition; it supports the new ways of talking about sex coming from the grassroots; and it advances the reader’s willingness to love in the absurd situation of knowing at the outset that separation is inevitable.

The Passion of SS. Serge and Bacchus, Translated by John Boswell from the Greek ranslated by John Boswell from the Greek "Passio antiquior SS. Sergii et Bacchi Graece nunc primum edita," AB 14 (Brussels, 1895), 373-395. This text is apparently the Greek original of the Latin passion beginning "Imperante Maximiano tyranne, multus error hominum genus possederat," printed in the Acta sanctorum, October 7, 865-79, and is more ancient than the more common account of "Metaphrastes."

If the Bible applies to me, does it also apply to you? Those who quote the Bible to condemn homosexuality, often claim that the Bible is clear, and not open to interpetation.

Homosexuals and the Third Reich In recent years the pink triangle has been widely adopted by individuals and gay organizations around the world as a symbol of gay visibility and gay resistance. Used by the Nazis to identify homosexual prisoners in German concentration camps, it is a powerful reminder of a grim episode in the history of gay oppression. The first account in English of the situation of homosexuals in Nazi Germany appeared origninally in The Body Politic as part of a series by James Steakley on the development of an early German homosexual emancipation movement. The discovery of the existence -- and abrupt disappearance -- of this first wave of homosexual organization has had a lasting impact on the contemporary movement's sense of its place in history. Perhaps no other TBP article has so jolted the imagination and political consciousness of gay activists and other readers. It is reprinted in full below.

[T] A nornal day for a loving, committed couple Some of you have equated homosexuality with some type of personal choice, that one day we wake up and decide to be homosexual; that you're not really hateful and bigoted and spiteful, you're just protecting yourself...

Christian Lesbians: Life that didnt fit I knew I was a lesbian before I got married but I was convinced that if I was “obedient” and married a man, God would take away my desire for women. I met a very nice guy and became engaged. I attempted to tell him about my previous relationships with women, but he didn’t really want to talk about that area of my life. He just knew our marriage was what God wanted for us.

Stories: A Growing Faith I am a preachers kid (PK) and so growing up the thoughts of being gay weren't even there. My family didn't talk down about gay people, we just didn't talk about it at all. It never was an issue. I had a good childhood but as I got into my later teens I knew I was not truly and fully happy. I always felt like something was missing. Since I did not date even guys I figured it might be that. During college some people wondered if I were gay and that got back to me. I was even asked at one point. I laughed it off and felt it was just beyond any realm of possibility and did not give it another thought.

The Bible and Homosexuality
There are selected passages in the Bible that lean toward a negative and prohibitive stance on homo-erotic behavior as it was understood within the social context of antiquity, but these passages reflect nothing on the lives of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgendered people today. The word homosexual doesn’t appear anywhere in ancient Greek or Hebrew biblical manuscripts as the word and concept were non-existent in antiquity.

STORIE: Hard to Say Good-Bye to Yesterday Back in the mid 90s, when I was a newly single mom living a life that swung between elation at my freedom from an oppressive marriage and anxiety over what to make of that new life, I had a best friend named Janice. She was one of three women whom I considered my closest friends in the world.

Assimilation, Queer Identity, or You n the early 1950’s a network of gay and lesbian organizations began a movement to end discrimination against homosexuals known as the Homophile Movement, a term chosen for its’ emphasis on romantic relationships rather than sexual activity; phile (love) from Greek.

Long Invisible, Gay Seniors Seek Respect, Services Bob McCoy is a youthful, active 78-year-old. He sings in his church choir, takes a weekly computer class, and regularly attends social gatherings organized by a gay senior citizens group in Brooklyn, N.Y., where he lives. But McCoy worries about a day when he can no longer care for himself: he has no close family, no partner, and he's outlived most of his friends.

Our Catholic “Stonewall Moment” The word “kyriarchy” is a good one to add to your vocabulary.* Recall “kyrie eleison” and you will recall that “kyrie” is the Greek word for “lord.” Kyriarchy means structures of lordship. Theologian Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza coined the word so as to move away from simply understanding the world in gendered terms as “patriarchy” or “rule by the fathers” suggests. While sexism is a problem, as we in the Catholic Church can attest to from personal experience, it is hardly ever without its companion racism, which is hardly ever found without economic oppression, which is usually paired with imperialism and colonialism, and carries heterosexism as a constant. It is these forms of oppression that are interstructured and then used as the ideological foundation for social and cultural institutions that constitute kyriarchy.

[D] A Life That Didn’t Fit I knew I was a lesbian before I got married but I was convinced that if I was “obedient” and married a man, God would take away my desire for women. I met a very nice guy and became engaged. I attempted to tell him about my previous relationships with women, but he didn’t really want to talk about that area of my life. He just knew our marriage was what God wanted for us.

Transgendered Christians, Gays and Our Common Bond Fun?! Who said being a Christian was supposed to be fun?! That is-- if we define the essence of being a Christian as making Jesus Christ Lord. He accepts us-- but many others, including many Christians, don't. And resolving the differences is not fun.
24
A TRANSSEXUAL THEOLOGY The subject of Transsexuality is not directly addressed in Scripture. The six passages about Homosexuality and the one passage about Cross Dressing are irrelevant since Transsexuality is a different condition than either of these.
25
THE WAY OUT The words of 1 Corinthians 10:13 rang in my ears as I knelt and sobbed. "Please take my life, Lord, I want to die." I was facing the breakup of my marriage of over twenty years, the estrangement of my college-student son, and the loss of my secure medical practice. All because I could no longer "stand up under it".

The Enemy. A New Perspective Like many transgendered folk, my ears perk up whenever a talk show features transsexuals, transvestites, or transgenderists, if for no other reason than to see how they are going to sensationalize our experience.

How “Natural” is God? Just when I think the Pope is going to advocate for the environment in his Christmas message, he uses it instead to deliver a shot at gay people as unnatural:

How to be Happy by Aaron I am gay. So what? I am not blind. Live in Malta where gayness is tolerated and not punishable to death like in Iran. Have work. Don’t live in a poor country, and so on. Count your blessings doesn’t mean feeling superior but knowing how fortunate you are.
29
[D] Possessed by the Spirit of Perversion? Accepting the fact that you are different from others, and sometimes accepting yourself for who you are may seem like a social struggle. However being told that you are possessed by the spirit of perversion, that’s just psychological madness. This is my story…

L'Étrange univers du chrétien homosexuel Vu la tradition chrétienne condamnant tout plaisir sexuel, et en particulier condamnant les actes homosexuels, on peut s'étonner du fait que plusieurs églises et associations chrétiennes ont vu le jour au sein des communautés homosexuelles et lesbiennes. Toutefois, ces groupements homosexuels chrétiens constituent un phénomène principalement--quoique non exclusivement-- américain et leur naissance s'explique par les conditions socio-politiques particulières aux États-Unis.
32
What to do after your child says "I'm gay". "One family's story" What do you say after someone you love says, "I'm gay"? That's the question our family faced a decade ago when the oldest of our six sons told his mother and me that he is homosexual. That's the question the ELCA family of faith recently faced because of three young men in a fiery furnace whose personal integrity would not allow them to deceive us about their sexual orientation during the process leading toward ordination. That's the question many congregational families will face in the future as more and more of their lesbian and gay members muster the courage to publicly share what they have privately known to be true for years.

A Queer kind of faith: Religion and spirituality in Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual New Zealanders "Despite their fraught relationship with faith communities, however, some lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) persons have remained connected to their religious traditions which demonstrates their resilience and their unwillingness to abandon faith traditions that have in many instances abandoned them"

Harvey Milk People told him no openly gay man could win political office. Fortunately, he ignored them fter Harvey Milk became the first openly gay man elected to any substantial political office in the history of the planet, thousands of astounded people wrote to him. "I thank God," wrote a 68-year-old lesbian, "I have lived long enough to see my kind emerge from the shadows and join the human race." Sputtered another writer: "Maybe, just maybe, some of the more hostile in the district may take some potshots at you — we hope!!!"
35
[S] How to come out to your parents Looking back, I now realize that I have been attracted to other guys since at least early adolescence. Like many, though, I worked very hard for years to hide my gay feelings from everyone, including myself. There were a few times when I would acknowledge to myself that I might be gay but then would quickly stuff that realization again. When I was 17, there were two or three times when I looked at myself in my car mirror and shouted, "You're gay aren't you?" and then quickly shouted even louder back, "No. It can't be true."
36
[S] I CHOOSE TO BE GAY A Different Perspective On The Old Argument I choose to be gay! Have you ever heard a person make this statement? I may have heard one person say such a thing, although right off hand I can't remember who it might have been.
37
[S] Coming out story of Anita These were the words that threw open my closet door... a door I had intended to remain closed forever. In conversation, my gay friends would often begin a sentence with "When you come out...." to which I would always reply "I'm never coming out." I meant it. I was unequivocal about it. I had so many reasons to keep the lock bolted tight. I loved, and continue to love, my parents with all my heart and I knew they would be devastated. My sister and brothers would be angry. I'd lose friends. I'd have to leave the community of faith I'd belonged to for 38 years. My checklist of reasons to stay in the closet seemed so justifiable but as I read the words above, I knew they were only excuses to deny the truth. I was, in my silence, lying. I had neatly disguised it with the trappings of good intentions and right motivation but still it was a lie.

[T] Homosexuality: A mother’s perspective (TRADUZIONE IN CORSO DI PINA) At times in our lives we have defining moments that change us. As a parent of a gay child, this was definitely one of those moments. Before we were labeled “diverse”, we were pretty much the average American family. We were middle class. We raised our children with family values that any parent would be proud of. We took them to church. We spent time with them at their schools.

[T] Religion and Homosexuality by Tim C Over the years I've come to believe that most of what we've been taught about God misses the mark. Many of the doctrinal positions that are taught as gospel don't stand up to close scrutiny. As an Interfaith Minister, my position on homosexuality is exactly the same as it is on heterosexuality: sin has nothing to do with sexual orientation - it's all about hurting others.

Multiple Moms and Dual Dads Quinn, a 19-year-old student at Boston University, is pretty tight with his family. When he's home from college, he hangs out with his parents practically every night. They eat dinner together, go on some awesome vacations together, and take in a few baseball games over the summer. "I don't think my family is that different from anyone else's, other than being an alternative setup," he said. Quinn is referring to the fact that he has three parents — two gay dads who he lives with, and a lesbian biological mom who frequently visits.

Omocaustro: Pierre Seel: The Death of His Lover Pierre Seel is a still living Frenchman who was deported to the Schirmeck concentration camp in 1941. After the war, in shame, he hid and in fact married and had children. In 1982, spurred by the denouncement of homosexuals as "sick" by Msgr. Elchinger, Bishop of Strasbourg, Pierre Seel went public with his story. Here are some extracts.

Acepto el reto y estoy poniendo en el papel algunos pensamientos. Les pido que me permitan responder primero como teólogo y luego como sacerdote. Espero que las razones de esta distinción queden explicadas a lo largo de la carta.

The Gifts of Homosexuality It really is quite astounding to me that nature is so committed to sexual diversity and homosexuality. Studies have shown that about 8-10 percent of any given human population is gay or lesbian, and most of these persons are born from heterosexual parents. What are the odds of this happening randomly? Why does nature insist on homosexuality as an ordinary and persistent sexual diversity? There must be a reason or reasons. My own guess is that homosexuals offer humanity certain vital gifts that society would be foolish to refuse. Here is a list of four:

[Alison] Unbinding the Gay Conscience (TRADUZIONE IN CORSO DI VALERIA) Some of you may have known Benjamin O'Sullivan, a Benedictine monk of Ampleforth Abbey who killed himself early in 1996. As far as I can tell, Benjamin was set up by a reporter from the News of the World, and the only thing which prevented his death from being a murder was that Benjamin himself consented to the voice of the lynch mob and became the hand that put him to death. I felt that his death was brought about because this extremely attractive, apparently self-confident, effervescent young man had been unable to stand up as an ordinary gay man to the voice of the lynch mob.

De nos jours, elle tend à être de plus en plus visible dans les grandes zones urbaines africaines. Il apparaît donc intéressant d’un point de vue sociologique se saisir son sens, et voire, sa puissance au-delà des clichés mystificateurs admis.
