Got to love the Boxee box. For all of those that don't know what it is. It is the most awesome media player in the world. It will pull streaming video off line and play it on your TV. over 9000 movies and 1000 tv shows to choose from.
Well I was flicking through my list of favorites, and came across the new History Channel Series "Only in America". I thought I would check that out and see what it is all about. well the first thing on the list was "Pray the Gay Way". I thought that was weird, but I wanted to check it out. Turns out the Boxee box put it in the wrong category and I was really watching an O W N network show. I had seen the commercial for it a few days back and wanted to watch it.
They had many different types of people there. Ones that are self proclaimed X-Gay. They claimed by prayer and believing in god that they have become X-Gay. They also had people that were in the process of becoming x-gay. I really felt bad for this kid. He acted so repressed with his feelings. He did use to drag, drink, do drugs, and have random sex with guys, but now that He has found god, and is trying to become x-gay, he doesn't do that anymore. So I will admit that some good has come out of that mentality, as far as the crazy destructive life style is concerned. But you could tell that this kid was so bottled up.
But then they had a segment on this other group of kids. They had this summer camp where Gay kids can go to and learn about god and be in a place that was accepting of their sexuality.
It was a really good show, and Opera gets two thumbs up for airing it. All is said and done, one of the ministers of the group that wanted to change gays to straight came out and said "Weather your gay or straight you will be beside me in heaven as long as you believe in Jesus as our savior.
With that I am done talking tonight. I feel a little more at ease now that I watched the show and saw other gay peoples perspectives on being Christan.
