Wherever you are. When you get the hate out of your hearts, you can start to love yourselves, no matter how God made you.

The hate I hear coming from the GOP is terrible and they continue to have to retract their statements and fess up. Does not look like it is going to stop very soon. Accept those for what they are, learn to love one another the way Jesus teaches us and it will work out for everyone much better.

I am really tired of this crap, as if it is supposed to be indicative of something. Sure, expose their hypocrisy, fine; not a problem. But, when I see things like this, it is usually in the context of "homophobes are secret" gays, and it is tiresome and incorrect. Also, I found some of the examples offensive, as they were not about homosexuality, but about predatory exploitation and, in once case, what seemed more like a fetish.

To me, all of these men are horrible cowards. They can't face that they are gay and they don't have the guts to be openly gay in a homophobic society. So they pretend they're not, and as part of that charade, try to out-homophobe the homophobes. Ironically, they get caught because they resort to dangerous, exploitive outlets for their sexual desires in an effort to keep their sexual orientation secret from the public.
