It's not even the worst comment I've ever read. At least she's not saying that gay people are pedophiles. :/ ...I don't think. It's just one of those days where you just reach the end of your rope with this crap, you know? I hate it when people assumes that if you're gay you must be "damaged" in some way. But, of course, it didn't help that the OP's friend was sexually abused as a girl so that didn't help the sexual abuse = becoming gay assumption... (Which also makes the comment sound worse because it just sounds...too cheery? Like, they don't think the abuse is a serious issue that will take years to overcome? I dunno...) And, of course, someone else pulled out the "how does she know she's gay if she's never taken a lover?" bullshit. Which I hate with a passion.

On the other hand, I just checked back with the thread (no one's replied to my comment yet which is probably just as well) and saw someone rip into the person for it; they said that telling someone that it was sinful to be gay and that it was a choice that could be corrected was emotionally abusive as far as she was concerned. She also said that the Bible was not a science or psychology textbook and shouldn't be used as such. It restored my faith in humanity. :)

And of course, the LGBT Christian communities I found today helped a lot. ^_^

Thank you for the hug. :) *hugs back*
