This is going to upset some people...(reformatted)

div style="border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-bottom: #cccccc 0.75pt solid; padding: 0in;" p style="line-height: 14.4pt; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #CCCCCC .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 0in 0in; padding: 0in;"[size= 10pt; color: windowtext; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.5pt]To start with, I realize that this is going to offend some people. I can see that people are going to read this and not be able to step outside of themselves in order to answer objectively, but I really hope that it at least invokes discussion. I’m not trying to criticize anyone’s beliefs...I’m just reflecting on some recent experiences that I find interesting.

My partner and I have been together for 10 years and we have built a life and a family together. I joined this site to meet other nudists, talk about experiences and learn from each [/size] p style="line-height: 14.4pt; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #CCCCCC .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 0in 0in; padding: 0in;"[size= 10pt; color: windowtext; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.5pt]In finding like-minded people across the world and sending friend requests I have gotten a significant number of replies that being gay is against the bible and my friend request is denied.[/size] p style="line-height: 14.4pt; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #CCCCCC .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 0in 0in; padding: 0in;"[size= 10pt; color: windowtext; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.5pt]I was surprised but I was ok until I looked through their friends list to find that there are no gay men but there are a significant number of bi-sexual and/or bi-curious females.

[/size] p style="line-height: 14.4pt; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid #CCCCCC .75pt; mso-padding-alt: 0in 0in 0in 0in; padding: 0in;"[size= 10pt; color: windowtext; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 9.5pt]I just find it very interesting that people pick and choose how to apply what they interpret from the bible. I find it really interesting that you don’t see people with signs quoting (Deuteronomy 22:13-21) "A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed." I’m just saying...[/size] /div
