I will read those links and comment on them after. Yes, most that I counsel come from a religious viewpoint or environment. That is the realm of my experience. I am trying to not fall into the mindset that everything is set in stone. I have been trying to give mys experiences to far in this arena.
I realize that all groups have their problems but I am really trying to stay on course here and address what I have observed, with my own experience, in the limited contact with the homosexual community.
Please forgive me if I am offending, I am not trying to.
God Bless All

I'm not sure why you keep feeling like your offending. Am I missing something? What is giving you that notion?
I have no idea what you mean about the advocacy clarification either. I sincerely have no idea.
I'm interacting with your post and challenging what I think are untrue theories... in other areas that may be true, I'm just asking questions of what you are presenting.
I appreciate your honesty.... I'm not attacking you. If you feel that way, I apologize. Realizing you speak from your experience, I'm arguing that experiences are not an end-all, which apparently you understand as you've written above.
