Two articles a number of my friends would rail against

Why I Don't Call Myself a Gay Christian - by Daniel Mattson
Catholic, Gay, and Feeling Fine - by Steve Gershom

I so respect these writers for acknowledging their struggles to live as they are called. We live in a world in which any attempt to live without indulging our sexual impulses is derided as disordered. Whether it is because of the violence which the actively gay community has historically received or is merely rooted in our natural inclination to justify ourselves most strenuously when we are most inwardly aware of our wrongness, I'm certain that people who speak words such as this are met with widespread derision from those who disagree with what they are saying about our nature.
