On the surface it looks like good stuff. The group acknowledges being same sex attracted isn't a sin - however acting on those urges IS. The high cost for these folks is there isn't a light at the end of the tunnel so to speak. Due to the way I lived my early life I'd be the last one to judge a queer as I can only imagine that their drive for the same sex was at least similar to mine for the opposite! Being stuck in a situation that is correctly described as abnormal (compared to most everyone else) is bad enough and being looked down on and ostracized for it by members of a faith tradition you also share has to be REALLY BAD! I got to know a gay guy at work pretty well, he was the type you would NEVER know was gay but he was. This person wasn't Christian but Jewish. He told me when he was younger he prayed himself to sleep countless times - wanted to be like everyone else, etc. etc. This person was 15 years my older and society wasn't kind to folks like this in the 50's! These same sex attracted folks should have all the support the rest of us have grown to expect. If some married guy in the church gets caught with a hooker in Las Vegas is he tared and feathered and sold down the river? Or does he / she have a shot at forgiveness? My guess is the latter. A queer that does what's natural to them is no less deserving of being forgiven repeatedly just the same as the rest of us. We all fall short - the difference in this case is that homosexuality is such an offensive idea to many people they fail to see that God looks at their gossip, lies, cheating, stealing or whatever in just as negative way as He would at a gay sex act.
