OK now I have to at least leave you a comment so that you will get something in the mail...hopefully others will, too :) Thank you for sharing this reflection as it helps me understand better what a prisoner's experience is like. We all need community so understand how hard it must be to feel cut off. Hang in there. -Voice12

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.
This was actually my first transcription on Between the Bars, so I haven't read your original post, but your knowledge of the history and theology of your religion is really quite astounding.
I think we're all too stuck on labels which leads us into a state of confusion and I think that's what your questions show here. Perhaps we should look at sexuality as a sliding scale, one we can slide up and down throughout our lifetimes as we grow and became more accepting of what entices us. I think perhaps a lot of our problems come from how we perceive ourselves, and others, and try to fit in the 'gay' box, or the 'straight' box when humans are simply more complex that that. We are all so very individual and we need to respect the beauty in that. This is what your post has reminded me today. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself, and for the complex thoughts you've raised in my mind today.
