    Hey, Alan

    It seems that Christians are having more and more problems with the gay community than just gay marriage, and I think this article is a good example of that. You've gotten to the point now where you're saying that people who are gay, and are happy about it or take pride in it, are something that is an issue with Christians. So I'd really like some Christians to answer this question: Do you have a problem with gay people EXISTING, or gay people feeling PRIDE in their existence? And if it's neither of those things:

    "Barack Obama just issued a proclamation declaring June as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month. Of course, his declaration poses a problem for most Christians,"

    What problem is Alan referring to?

    You were talking about how ashamed you were in school because of your appearance, how no one should feel that way because of who they are. And yet, you certainly don't want them to feel proud. Where are you coming down, Alan?
