I have often helped gays in their challenge to understand what it means to come out and how best to start down that road. I have and also helped gays to reconcile the often difficult struggle of being gay and being a Christian. I now understand one of God's truths more clearly: Our pain is not wasted when we can reach around and comfort another coming along behind us on the same path.

Experience in the area

I too had to deal with these issues when I finally accepted who I was and started down my own path to come out. It is difficult to imagine now how much I have changed and how much I have learned as I traveled this most curious journey. For many years, I have hosted a website to address this issue and to help others.

Hi James, It would be my opinion that some men do like it and some of course do not. Anal sex not only can give an orgasm to the giver but it also brings pleasure to the receiver. Anal sex also gives

2009-06-19 How can I seam less gay? Why do homosexuals think it's ok to push their lifestyle on me?:

Hey Tim, Thanks for your questions. Gay, straight, bi... who knows what we are or what you are. You know, there is no switch that makes you one or the other. Rather, we all are somewhere on the continuum
