[Vision2020] The Damage Done in this Community

[Art Deco]

LuJane,

I don't understand your last message.

Is it the persecution of gays you don't understand, the feeling of being
persecuted, or you don't understand why people engage in what is termed
"homosexual" behavior?

Also, do you really want to understand?  Do you really want to know why it
"makes sense".

Wayne Fox
