Uncle Billy

The other day I talked about growing up catholic and now being Baptist.I love my church family and going to our church. I have a few issues with the church though , not everything or everyone is perfect. A major issue I have with the Baptist faith is their stance on Gays. I have never and will never see anything wrong with it. Being gay is how God made them, and in his eyes they are perfect. Who are you to say that, because they are born gay that they are going to hell. It bugs the crap out of me.
My Uncle Bill is gay. I have always, always known. In fact I don't remember not knowing. I do know that I marched in a gay rights parade with him when I was 5 or . I have seen his art work that he proudly displays and I know where he stands politically and what he believes in. What he stands for. We may not agree on everything but we do agree on a lot.
My uncle is one of the most genuine, wonderful, amazing,and loving human beings that I have ever met and had the pleasure of knowing and I am so grateful to not only know him but call him family. He, has given me support financially, physically, emotionally whenever I have ever needed it my whole entire life. When hurricane Katrina happened he was living in New Orleans, right outside the French Quarter. He was in danger. He luckily left in time to be safe. He came to my house which was a 6 hour drive that turned into 10 because of everyone trying to leave and be safe with us .He stayed with us for 3 months before it was safe for him to go home. Whenever he got money from FEMA red cross he gave us half to help us.he bought dinner every time we went out he paid , he paid for groceries all the time. A man this good and amazing , I just don't see how he could burn in hell for something he didn't chose for something that was not his choice.He was born gay , he didn't chose it,God made him that way. And for that I am grateful.
