		<description>ERRATUM:


This is the correct statement:

&quot;, not to the extend na mag cross dress talaga, just being my self… And know what? they just accepted me, and you know people are people, the more you pretend.....&quot;</description>

		<description>Parehas po tayo ng situation, actually alaga ako ng pastor and pareho talaga tayo ng karanasan, have been there done that. And when I separated from them (Pastor&#039;s family), got a job, I really felt the need to get out of the closet, to to the extend na mag cross dress talaga, just being my self... And know what? they just accepted me, and you know people are people, the more you pretend, the more they hate u. Discreet ako..and I can say na accepted nila ako, turing ko sa kanila magulang and ganun din sila sa akin, the whole congregation knows the whole me. They already have the idea yet they still talk to me and even casts some jokes and go along with me whenever may mga fellowship. Its just that, you need also to be honest to God, and pray for it na God will take you out from that situation. And also a heart na willing na mabago ka sa yung sexuality, nag self denial na din ako kasi wla sa aming family bloodline ang homo or bi, and until now, Im still going through this &quot;Reparative Therapy&quot; with myself. It depends on you if ready kana to tell someone near u regarding that, sum1 that you can trust and sum1 hu can keep all of these in strictest confidence. Ive been also through many failed plan of reformation and total denial but it will just leave u behind. There are so many painful deceptions, one of which is self denial... masakit man pero wla kanang magawa. Maybe, its ur duty to reform your inner self if you want it too. It all depends on u</description>

		<description>for one second, i thought i was reading my own story. haha! it&#039;s a nice feeling though- knowing that i am not alone with this kind of situation. i guess the only difference is that, i&#039;ve always known the fact that i&#039;m gay. it&#039;s a tough life, i must say. i maintain two separate identities for more than 6 six years now and i don&#039;t know yet how far can i go. it was really nice reading your story.</description>

		<description>In Christian teachings they condemned homosexuals and whoever practices homosexual act that&#039;s because they claimed that it&#039;s from the teaching of the Holy Bible. I too is a member of a very famous and strict church which condemn gays. I was once also a leader of the said Christian faith. However upon discovering the bible, I have came to realize that truly the bible itself contradicts it&#039;s teaching. I guess that&#039;s  the reason why most of us are being encouraged to use the King James version &quot;Bible&quot; because it&#039;s the closest translation from the original scrolls of the holy scriptures.( yan ang napala ko sa pag-aral ng bible para pag merun mangondena ng mga bakla eh di may panlaban tayo ha ha ha )
Which means that &quot;Bible is not 100% accurate&quot; no wonder why there are too many religions these days who claim that they are true and this was resulted by different interpretations of the bible. My Point is GOD wouldn&#039;t less favored those who are Homosexuals who love purely and would be loyal to his or her partner. It says that LOVE comes from GOD then the LOVE between two men or women are acceptable. So as long as you become responsible ,loving and loyal to your   partner then your relationship is accepted by GOD because GOD only says I will condemn those who practices homosexual acts but GOD didn&#039;t say He will condemn those who love the same sex. human understanding is but limited, but God&#039;s love and understanding to his Children is beyond our imagination.  so guy&#039;s chill out!!! as long as you don&#039;t commit crimes against your fellowmen we&#039;re all good. Peace out for those who got offended but I&#039;m only sharing what I believe is true.</description>

		<description>ml,

one thing is for sure, if you believe in one supreme being, you also believe that HE is merciful and loving. migs is right, do not bother your self on how you will end up. deal with it one day at a time. be at peace with yourself. and maybe someday when the time is right, you&#039;ll know what you really want and hopefully be happy with it. take care.

		<description>i think i am in the same dilemma for one am not sure if i am really gay,  maybe bi if there&#039;s such label. i am quite in the same situation, catholic conservative family plus the molestation during my puberty years.  i tried to forget everything that happened so i focus on studies in college and finding a better paying job.  right now i feel that what happened to before haunts me back. at 28, i haven&#039;t had any relationship with men (seriously), had a couple of girlfriends before, 1 in HS and 1 in college.</description>

		<description>M.L, Di ka nag-iisa. Almost same as you. I am unique, of Christian faith (fundamentalist baptist at that), and prefers to be playing inside the dark closet. I just don&#039;t know if you still have the &#039;guilt trips&#039; after every encounter. I have done some fascinating inquiries that the &#039;Gentiles&#039; might not be able to understand, sorry po. Can we correspond via email? 

Marc, san ba ang Bagong Pag-asa? I have further questions. Can you pls send me an email also?

Migs, thanks. I am one of ur avid readers. :D</description>

		<description>THANKS EVERYONE...

For me this is no longer an issue between coming out or not, nor is it at issue of being a good person or not. A part of me has already accepted the fact that I am different. I guess the solution I found is to stay inside my closet, and, like what I said, I am enjoying all the thrills and excitement this dark, little closet brings to my life.

It&#039;s good to know that I am not alone in this situation. One way or another, I know I will find a way through this problem. 
Thanks Migs!</description>
