Why?

Why, if I am a nice guy that doesn't drink, treat women like things or speak crudely about them, enjoy watching sports, or swear, do I have to be gay? Why is that the only conclusion that people can come to? I don't even care what they think. I know I'm not gay. Their uninformed opinion does not make me question anything about who I am. But it does make me go back to when I was just a goofy little dork with thick glasses and knobby knees. I remember what it was like to get picked on in class. On the playground. In the lunchroom. Why do people do this? Why do people treat people like this? How can a human being be so hurtful and harsh on the inside to actually desire to make other people feel bad? I am overwhelmed with sorrow for all the insults I have thrown, and for all the pain I have caused. I know that I am not that person anymore, but that doesn't make it any easier to think about.

*sigh*

"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." Matthew 5:44, 45

Please bring them peace in their hearts, Lord. Help them to discover your truth and saving grace, and change their hearts and their lives. I'm so sad for them. Even more so because I used to be one of them, and only by Your grace was I changed.

God bless,
-Matt

Yo, I hear that bro! All the guys at work, even the married ones, are always like, "check that girl out... blah blah blah..." They'll even stop working and come out of the kitchen to "get a better look." It's so pathetic! There all like, "I know you like it, Scott" And I'm all, "no, I don't like treating women like that, even if they don't know it." But I'm the one with the problem, that drives me CRAZY!

I know you don't know me or anything but just thought I'd say... people my husband works with STILL think he is gay after we've been married for 18 months, have a daughter, and all that.

It's considered gay because most men these days are not disciplined or well-mannered in any way shape or form. My hat goes off to the men, such as you, that still know what chivalry and being a gentleman is.

*steps off soap-box*
