I've been thinking about your comment all evening and trying to come up with a way to respond. As someone who grew up in a strictly religious environment, I understand the struggle that you're talking about really well. It took me a long time to come to terms with my own views on sexuality and to reconcile them with my faith, so I know how confusing and painful that perspective shift can be.
If I have, in any way, helped with that, I take it as the most touching compliment you could possibly give me. I love that the verse inspired you to look at the way you see things - that part is all kinds of awesome - but change is a personal thing, one that's not always easy, and that decision is all yours. I'm proud to have had some part in it. :D
If you ever want to talk about it further, please feel free to e-mail me at raeschae @ gmail. And thank you so much for your amazingly kind words.
