Bisexuality Support Group

Bisexuality is a sexual orientation which refers to the aesthetic, romantic, and/or sexual attraction of individuals to other individuals of both their own and the opposite gender or sex. Most bisexuals are not equally attracted to men and women, and may even shift between states of finding either sex exclusively attractive over the course of time.

I have been into females for a long while but i also like guys the problem is i want to be a Christian but i cannot do both and its a battle that i cant fight no matter how i look at it. I cant be happy uless i do both cause when i am not in church i wanna be but when i walk out of the church i look at girls all over again. I have never had a relationship with a female but have desired one for a couple of years. But being a Christian feels right to me also. What should i do?

Heyy hunn, I was raised Christian and I am the same way but I figure God made me just how he wanted me to be so- I guess I'm supposed to love girls. I am however converting to Universal Unitarianism because they seem to be a little more loosly bound and wayy more accepting. Do what you will God will love you still!

Hi, Lady Kikyo,
I don't know where you live, but here in NYC there are many congregations that feel being gay can go right alongside being Christian, and who disagree with people who say the Bible is against homosexuality. I went to a beautiful, deeply moving church service on gay pride day in which a minister married 10 gay couples. It was the most touching wedding I've ever attended. Even though the unions couldn't be recognized by NY State (yet), we all felt in our hearts that they were beautiful, deep, real and worthy marriages in the most important sense of the word.
I'm not religious myself, but I have many gay religious friends, including a monk, who have found communities that support them on all levels.
I guess the main thing to remember is the the bible says "Thou shalt not judge", and "Love thy neighbor".
Also, "God is love". Being gay is about love just as much as being straight is about love. Whatever sex your partner is, love is what matters, and I don't think any type of God would be against love between two hearts!
LOL, Ave

Oh, one more thing. I just finished reading a book called "Oranges are Not the Only Fruit", which I know you would absolutely LOVE. It's about a girl brought up in an extremely religous family who learns to accept that she is gay and to reconcile it with her religious views. I think this book would really speak to you on so many levels. Here's the link in Amazon, where you can buy it used for only about $2.50!!!

Really, you'll LOVE this book.

I am going through this dilemma just today, myself. Being Christian and bringing up Christian kids, and married a Christian in a Christian church. I am trying to deal with the repressions from all angles, including the 'churches'. My supportive hubby just reminded me today that if all of the bi, lesbian,gay, trans, Jews, Muslims ,etc, etc, etc are going to hell, then who is truly going to heaven? After all God made us all in his image and it's not what we are/aren't , it's the 2 cornerstones - God is love and - love one another.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
