Thanks for the feedback. You are right in that my comment regarding the lifestyle choice is judgemental, and being judgemental is something I try to fight (and sometimes fail, quite spectacularly). I did post a slightly cleaned up version of that response on the other thread, where it was more on topic. (and probably still failed to convey my intention)

And knowing that we live in a broken world (understand that i have a very strong Christian background and belief system), I accept that people are going to feel attractions that are (in my belief) unnatural and morally wrong. And I fight the same types of issues (not with homosexuality specifically, but I am definitly no saint, and I have my own set of equally morally questionable issues). Our world is a broken mess. My choice of the word lifestyle was an indication that we may not always have a choice as to who we are, but we always have a choice in how we respond.

I have family members that are LGBT (and some that I suspect are), so I struggle a LOT with how to respond to them. I am trying to find that place where I can balance my love for them with my strong personal beliefs. and it is not easy.
