To add just a little bit of adendum to this thread as well. Most earth based religions are very open-minded and accepting of people of ALL walks of life to include various orientations. My main reason why I follow this path is due to that open-mindedness and I constantly fall back on the Three Fold Rule which states "An it harm none, do as Thou will." I am so thankful (now) to live in this day and age so that I am not forced to live in fear of going out in public and people burning me because I am wrong. Thank you for starting this thread and I hope that it answers many questions for all of us that are continually growing closer to the God/dess.
