About the Author
Just like anyone out there who has struggled and overcome the conflict between your faith and sexuality, I am willing to share my journey to anyone who may be facing crossroads at this time.
Have faith - - all others shall follow.
Hi,
I just stumbled on your blog from blogcatalog.
I’m an ordinary guy who’s from middle east. I am christian evangelical.
I do not still consider myself to be gay. I have had dreams and fantasies about guys, but I consider them normal part of life, and I guess I will have to live with them, but not feed them with porn.
I have researched alot and talked to guys and chatted. Most of the guys that I have come across have been from east asia, mainly from phillipines.
I have asked them lately and I haven’t received any good response. Why is it that filipino guys are gay? I mean lots of them.
I hope i didn’t come very strong at you. In case I did, I apologize.
In Christ,
I’ll tell you my name afterwards
Hello Anonymous,
Thanks for visiting my blog. I appreciate your honesty and in fact, I was quite pleased to know that you are Christian as well.
I am unsure as to why there are lots of gay guys from the Philippines. I would probably attribute it to our family structure at least in my case.
It is the absent father that I believe contributed to my being gay since my father was always away on business and my mom was left to tend to us at home. But even then, I couldn’t prove my theory because I have lots of gay friends that are very close to their fathers.
Maybe it’s because our culture is tolerant of it? Maybe because they are considered part of our ‘fellowmen’? I am not certain.
In any case, please feel free to come back and comment and hopefully we can get readership here that would be able to offer input on your questions.
I, myself struggled with it for a long time but I knew right from when I can remember that I didn’t have any attraction for girls/women. It’s the nature/nurture question that remains.
I only know one thing for certain - God loves me for whatever sexual preference I have and that itself, remains constant.
God Bless!
I’m kinda confused after reading the few pages you have here on this blog.
Do you believe homosexuality is a sin? From what I’ve read here I’m under the impression that you’re okay with committing homosexual sins and calling yourself a Christian. I happen to believe that if you were truly a Christian that God would convict your heart that committing sin (of any type) is unacceptable.
Hi Nathan. Thanks for commenting on my posts. I don’t believe homosexuality to be a sin. True, committing any type of sin is unacceptable - like infidelity, adultery, murder, lying.. all these things are sins that I will not admonish.
Being who I am is not a sin and besides, I believe that God will not judge me for who I am but how much I loved my fellowmen. God will not judge you because you walk the way you walk or talk the way you talk. He will judge you based on the hurting words you said to others.
But thanks for your opinion, you are entitled to it.
Since my encounter with a lesbian, i am wandering here and there in net to know more abt gay, lesbian and bisexuals….Till today one thing i knew abt them is that they need different angle of view
The girl was Tanishq, a lesbian, from eastern society…
Life of them is too tuff in eastern society in comparision to western soceity..May be i wrong too..
May be the struggling of they in western and in eastern are different…I don’t know abt western but in eastern they need more support because in here they are treated as totally different and abnormal persons. I hope in future all humans will be treated as same…but for that information abt they should be scatterd in systematic manner.
I must salute to them..who are being gays n lesbians doing struggle in their life…..

Even after sharing some words , she went far away. After that encounter i haven’t seen her, nor she contacted me…I am searching the answer…why is she being far with me ? Do they(gay, lesbian, bisexuals) feel not safety after letting others to know abt them ?
I have a lot of questions related with gays, lesbians…I hope my searching will be stopped with you…Hoping right answers from you.
hello Ametya,
Sorry if it took me a while to read your comments. It was caught in my spam messages box.
Should you need to communicate with me - please feel free to comment again and I can send you a personal email.
Many thanks for visiting. You have very valid questions.
I too had many questions; 63 years of questions. Thanks be to God, last fall the questions were answered in acceptance of self. Email me and I will be happy to illustrate.
Hello Dwight. My apologies for not responding sooner. It has been a very hectic month to say the least. I would definitely love to hear your story. Please do send me your personal email. Thanks!
God bless our seeking hearts. the truth about homosexuality is not changed by how strong we argue or by the authenticities of our experiences. the unchanging hope and freedom that Jesus gives to the blind man by the river is available to all. His question echoes on all of us, ” Do you want to get well?”
Oh God, may you see us as we earnestly seek you.
I will pray for you as well Albert. Do not stop to seek. You will eventually find Him.
To Nathan with the question is homosexuality is a sin or not, I have a different approach speaking to man’s fallen nature. If you want to her more give me an email or look at my blog on “The Journey Continues Happily”.
Yours, in Christ,
Dwight
Dearest Gay Christians,

I had to write to you and give you many kudos for the work and ministry you are doing in sharing your testimonies with others. Not everyone gets the chance to find the courage and strenght to do what you and I do. So again Thanks. If you ever need someone to talk to or just need some info feel free to email mail at any time. You can also catch me on my website: http://LITLministry.googlepages.com - I pray that you continue to have happiness and success and may you have all blessings you deserve.

Love Is The Light Ministry
Thanks Reverend for the accolade and the visit. I try to share my experience with other people who may be struggling to accept their sexuality. I had the roughest time accepting myself and there were times that I felt I wasn’t worthy of anyone’s love and admiration. I had gotten over that through the help of one man - a religious one at that.
I commend you for your courage as well. We need to work very hard to help those who can’t find reconciliation within themselves.
Hello,
Not sure what your name is. I looked around here on your Blog and have yet to find it. So, instead of calling you “Dude” or something else along those lines, I will just call you sir!!
Anyway, I am enjoying reading your Blog. It was certainly refreshing to read. I don’t spend a whole lot of time reading blogs. This is primarily due to fact that I work allot of hours. The ones that I have stumbled on thus far tend to be a little bit more on drastic side than my tastes’ desire. If you know what I mean.
This blog, however, is very refreshing!!
As a 40 year old male, who has just accepted his sexuality, its nice to read (and see) others who have had the same struggles with their Faith and Sexuallity. It tells me that I am not alone!! That in its self is comforting!!
Peace to you all!
Brian
Hi Brian! (My favorite name of all!!!
)
Haha! Don’t call me dude bro! Haha!
I am glad that you had the chance to read the archives and I promise I will provide a personal update soon.
40 year old or 18 year old, it’s all the same. We experience the freedom from the stigma. We are who we are.
You are definitely not alone and I’m really glad you came to visit. Please share us your story sometime. I will be glad to publish it even if it has to be anonymous.
Peace and Love!
Chris

Hi Josh,
Welcome to my blog. We are all here to listen. Let me know if you need my personal email - I will be more than happy to communicate with you. Just remember, God loves you.
Peace,
Chris
