Oh, I had that (sort of) too from my mother, but I'd given up on the church long ago. Nothing to do with sexuality, but the realization that myself & my father were both doomed with genetics, so there was no point in false hope.

That's why I'm living now... not in the afterlife.

Incidentally, one of the religious folk who knew my family in Dundee found one of the old pages on my website by chance. I pointed out the change (some time ago now), and she wrote back very positively and wished me well. See, they're not all so bad!

See, when all you want to do is spread your legs in front of strangers (well, not want, but have to), then religion gets in the way from no-where...

... OK, I've said I cannot be surprised any more this year, but the way things are going, who knows!
