I think it possible for someone to be against the practice of a lifestyle
(that being homosexuality) but yet not be "against" those who practice
that
lifestyle. Also, some of those that I know of don't feel superior to
anyone, they view themselves as having a mission....


I really don't want to put any more time into this thread because it's so
off-topic and controversial, so this will be my last post on the subject. I
just want to add a couple of things:

1. Just a general thought that sums up my POV on things like this: Not to
preach, but I'm a Christian who was taught from an early age that it's our
job to simply love, not to judge. We're told to "love your neighbor as
yourself," and to "judge not lest ye be judged yourself." Whatever the
"mission," people are won over by caring, concern, acceptance and love, not
by condemnation, suspicion, abasing and disdain.
2. Everything that I post has an implied "IMHO!" I don't presume that my
POV is the only one, and I don't want to offend anyone here -- we all have a
common bond in our weight challenges and to me that is more important than
our differences. :-)
