		<description>there are a lot of scientific studies that will prove that we are not born gay...

better for you to browse the website of National Association for the Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (www.narth.com) and see how people have diminished their homosexual attractions and developed heterosexual attractions by understanding the roots of their homosexuality.

another website to visit is www.peoplecanchange.com

in as much as we respect people who does not want to change, i urge anyone out there who seek change that it is possible to change!

if you need support from us you could contact us at www.presentsanctuary.com

God loves you!</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Life is a choice!</strong> you can either choose to live your life to the fullest (enjoy every bit of it) or live it miserably (all the negative things, reklamo, etc.) or you can end it (suicide&#8211;which is not good at all!!!).</p>
<p><strong>Everyday is a choice!</strong> From the time you wake up (if you &#8220;will/want&#8221; [volition] to wake up 6am,7am or 8am) till you eat breakfast, choice of clothes to wear&#8230;it&#8217;s all your choice!</p>
<p><strong>Being a Gay or Act like a Gay/lesbi is a choice!</strong> You can&#8217;t control other people. You can&#8217;t control someone to love you&#8211;you can persuade, but not totally control. The only one you can control is <strong>yourself</strong>! Emotion isn&#8217;t controllable&#8211;anger, love, hate, attractions, etc. BUT&#8230; you can control your <strong>REACTION</strong> or <strong>RESPONSE</strong> to these feelings or emotions.</p>
<p>The reason behind this homosexuality issue is until now has not been explaine by Science. Science has no absolute proof for homosexuality cause. Some assumed that family upbringing, environment, media have caused this&#8211;although these are factors to consider. But it isn&#8217;t! Yes history plays important role as to where and when it happened.</p>
<p>To act &#8220;soft&#8221; doesn&#8217;t mean one is gay. To be so creative and picky/meticulous on things does not mean one is a gay. To be attracted with opposite sex doesn&#8217;t necessarily one is gay. What makes gay a gay is when he/she crosses the line. The act of being a gay/lesbi (having sexual activities with same sex) is what makes one a gay/lesbi, and it isn&#8217;t accepted by our society, nor the Maker (God) of people. Those who oppose in this idea, activity based their principle from the Bible that says &#8220;And God created Adam and Eve. He created them according to His likeness&#8230;&#8221; We will see here that God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. No she-male! The premise of this point of view is: Original design for Man is for the Woman! God&#8217;s design that no one should alter!</p>
<p>Now, my opinion about &#8220;gay-ness&#8221; and &#8220;lesbi-ness&#8221; is all boil down to &#8220;feelings/emotions&#8221;. Again, to feel something wrong ISN&#8217;T WRONG. I can feel like killing someone bec of my emotion, but if i rebuke, fight against this feeling, i wont end up doing something wrong.  It&#8217;s our RESPONSE/REACTION to what we feel, is what matters. I can be attracted to a man, but if i fight this feeling i wouldn&#8217;t end up in trouble or doing something that is wrong. Why is it wrong to have relation (sexual) to same sex? It is wrong to have sexual relationship with same sex (even with opposite sex if illicit/illegal&#8211;that&#8217;s why there&#8217;s called bigamy, adultery in the law of the land/Government bec they acknowledge the sovereignity of righteousness) because of the STANDARD given (Bible/God&#8217;s design). This design/law is even above the law of the land/Government (law of the land is only based from the Torah&#8211;God&#8217;s law called Ten Commandments).</p>
<p>But&#8230;&#8230;.. again, all these issue will boil down to &#8220;WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH WHAT YOU FEEL?&#8221; Are you going to give-in to it or divert it? I didn&#8217;t say fight it bec the more you fight it, the more it pushes down to your senses. <strong>Divertion</strong> is the most effective one and a bit easier one (not so hurtful). <strong>NOT ALL FEELINGS or EMOTIONS are to be obeyed!</strong> Like me, i am fascinated with cars, gadgets, nice clothes, shoes and the <strong>urge</strong> is so strong especially during <strong>SALE</strong><strong>!!!</strong> (my goodness!) Plus the fact that BPI offers 0% interest for 12 months during BPI Madness&#8230; The feeelings and emotions are so strong that i couldn&#8217;t almost resist&#8230;What should i do? SHould i just give in? We have brain to use and the brain is placed above so that it can balance things with truth and reality! It maybe true that i need those stuff, it maybe true that it will look good and feel good if i have those things, but reality says I maybe cant afford it. I maybe don&#8217;t need it. So, I should balance the truth (what I feel) with reality (what should be done—right thing to do based on the Standard). If I feel like having sex with someone who is not my legal wife (wife of someone else, or daughter of someone else, or boyfriend of someone else) should I give in? I don’t think so. If there’s no standard, then a gay shouldn’t be angry if another gay is fooling around with his/her partner. A gay/lesbi is angry when he/she is violated, when his/her rights are violated. Where did he/she got the standard that was violated if there’s no standard?<br />
 <br />
In conclusion, our reactions to our emotions, feelings, wants and desires should be submitted to the governing standard which is the standard of the Maker. If it’s the righteous thing to do (WWJD) then let’s go for it—whether you are a “soft” man or a “hard” woman!!! We must CHOOSE the right thing to do because we have a CHOICE! Little decisions we do each day will either make or unmake our character!</p>

		<description>Transsexualism is a condition in which a person experiences a discontinuity between their assigned sex and what they feel their core gender is. For example, a person who was identified as &quot;female&quot; at birth, raised as a girl, and has lived being perceived by others as a woman, may feel that their core sense of who they are is a closer fit with &quot;male&quot; or &quot;man.&quot; If this sense is strong and persistent, this person may decide to take steps to ensure that others perceive them as a man. In other words, they may decide to transition to living as the sex that more closely matches their internal gender.</description>

		<description>HOMOSEXUALITY. FOR ME, IT IS NOT A MATTER OF CHOICE. IT IS A MATTER OF YOUR PAST EXPERIENCES. putting into context and based on experience: I HAD BEEN IN AN EXCLUSIVE SCHOOL FOR MORE THAN PAST 10 YEARS.. SINCE GRADE SCHOOL (6 YEARS) AND HIGHSCHOOL (4 YEARS), AND SUPRISINGLY COLLEGE (2 YEARS AND counting =)).. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I AM MORE ATRRACTED TO A LESBIANS AND EVEN TO BEAUTIFUL LADIES, (but, i am not lesbian.. i&#039;m &quot;physically&quot; a straight lady., getz?. so that&#039;s it.. for me.. it is merely not a choice, but it is the influence of your environment, or because you are used to it.. in seeing only loTs of WomeEenn =)</description>

		<description>Semeon, sometimes hurting others is inevitable and unintentional. Like you i grew up &quot;fighting&quot; against all odds not for acceptance but for equal treatment. right now at the age of 31, a college professor  siguro masasabi ko, its all worth it na I learn self-control, to managing anger and to think under pressure and calm as well as courage to walk away from a situation that I have no control over. and being gay is more than just having sex with another male. mas malalim pa dun yung meaning.. at yung worth ng isang gayman</description>

		<description>i use to blame several factors why i&#039;m gay but as i look back on my childhood days, i&#039;ve realized that i&#039;ve done things that are very gay. 1st, i had a torrid kiss with a kid(of the same age when i was 6 years old( it was a good one though!hehe) and as i browse my photo album i saw that i was wearing dresses and bathing suitand it seems i liked it.its hard being gay, for me, because community thinks of you as a waste even if you are doing nothing to them. by being gay i&#039;ve learned to disassociate my self to people to the extent of being a loner, Can&#039;t we exist like normal people? (though we try there&#039;s always the stigma saying we are sinners as viewed by people). piece of advice: do nothing that can hurt your family,even if your gay think of your family!and respect diversity.</description>
