Tuesday's discussion group had five people plus the pastor. Two were from our sister church. Pastor said there were some there who had asked for this discussion, as well.

I wish I lived close enough to go to your church.

The services are very traditional. Nothing innovative here. A dying church with a dwindling congregation.

I just have a really open-minded pastor. :)

I'm definitely interested to see how this progresses.

Glad the discussion seemed to go pretty well.

Love the story about the conversation with your neighbor. It's commonly accepted that straight men like to see two attractive women together, but it's still considered shocking for the most part that the same would be true of women and two guys.

I never thought about the use of the word "homosexual" but I think that's true. I think it will become an outdated term. It's not like we go around calling each other heterosexuals all the time.

For a man who's around 80 years old, I thought he was pretty open to my ideas.

At PFLAG today, this conversation took place:

First guy: "I knew from an early age that I liked girls. I never thought about whether I was heterosexual or not. I was just born that way, and there's nothing I can do that will change it."

Second guy: "We can help you with that." ;)
