quote:

On June 12, 2016, the Pulse nightclub shooting that killed 49 and wounded 53 rattled America to its core.

As innocent victims lay in a mass bloodbath that stained the hearts of millions, Angel Colon and Luis Javier Ruiz made it out alive with scarred minds and changed hearts. Knowing he should’ve been yet another casualty, Colon immediately started praising a God that he had denied for most of his life.

“I look around again and everybody that was around me was dead and I am alive,” said Colon. “And I just started thanking God: ‘Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord.”


quote:

However, Colon’s transformation wasn’t instantaneous. He was initially fearful of stepping out in his newfound faith and lifestyle conversion after seeing the criticism Ruiz underwent for doing the same.

However, Ruiz’s courage eventually inspired him with the strength he needed to step out in boldness. Once he broke free from the spirit of fear, Colon says he and Ruiz “became these men, these soldiers, these generals that aren’t scared anymore to share wherever they go the Gospel of God.”

Ruiz said the turning point for him was realizing that in spite of his same-sex attractions, “It’s not a gay to straight thing; it’s a lost to saved thing.”


is this fake news? you decide!

Gay guy is still gay, but says he won’t have gay sex anymore because god doesn’t like it.

Strikes me as stupid, but not fake.

I don't know. But if I barely got spared from being mowed down by a religious nut, the last thing I'm going to do is go running toward any religion if I wasn't already a practicing member of said religion.

Well it turned out the guy had been on an FBI watchlist after contacting AQ but they stopped probably because they didn't want to be accused of being "racist."

I don't think that being gay prevents a person from being religious like being intelligent does.

I've heard of it before. Not impossible and hope it works out for them either way.

I can prove it isn’t a choice... Close your eyes for a sec.. Pretend you’re at the beach; envision a girl a few feet away, nice long tanned legs, she’s on her stomach with the back of her bikini undone so she can tan her back.. her wild blonde hair is all over the place, and her skin is glistening in the sun............. Got that? Good, now...


....... Picture some guy’s hairy arse.



No way ANYONE would voluntarily CHOOSE the guy... You’re either born one way or the other .. The weenie wants what it wants.

To have sex? Yeah, that's a choice.

He's still attracted to men though. That's not necessarily a choice.

Good for him.

Now he'll just go to purgatory instead of going straight to hell
