Hi all,
I am looking for other SSA Catholic or Christian people who would like to share their stories on my blog, and perhaps be contributers.
I’m also open to anyone else who would like to contribute. My email address is on the “About” page.

Hi all.
Still googling, or browsing through wordpress sites, I have found another raw, honest blog about a gay Christian, and how they are dealing with their life.
I will post the links here to posts I have read from him:
I can identify with the emotions Corey has honestly shared in his stories. I must say, having read these I can see I have a long way to go yet in finding true peace, but at least I know I am on the right path.
Corey lives alone, and this raises the question: Can two SSA people live together, sharing their lives, and still have a life that is good in God’s eyes? Does God expect SSA people to live alone without a partner at all?
From all the literature available, it seems it is only the homosexual act that is sinful. To me this leaves open the possibility that two SSA people can live together, and love each other, and as long as both can agree and strive to remain celibate, this relationship would not be regarded as sinful.
Also another grey area is kissing. In regular relationships, people are not expected to refrain from kissing before they are married. So it seems reasonable to me, that two SSA people kissing are not committing a sin. If this is considered sinful, why? Does this mean all other heterosexual couples who engage in premarital kissing are likewise guilty of sin?
I turn this over to you…
