It is somewhat confusing to me. I would think it would be confusing to gay teens. They seem to be contradictory in some of the things that they are saying. Is it just me or is it somewhat insulting to continuously refer to gay people as "same sex attracted?" To me this tends to objectify people. Plus in my opinion most people have attractions in varying degrees to people of both sexes. I also find the term "disordered" to be labeling a person as defective. The bishops say that it isn't but it is. Some of what they say is positive but they rely too much on negative statements from church documents. <br />Peace - Markbobfett11https://www.blogger.com/profile/09668410092478588528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612445.post-2235734172485957112011-07-02T19:09:42.209-05:002011-07-02T19:09:42.209-05:00Thank for a great article and wonderful pictures.Thank for a great article and wonderful pictures.bobfett11https://www.blogger.com/profile/09668410092478588528noreply@blogger.com
