On the being bullied thing...I'm straight, but I'm honestly surprised I was almost never bullied for my disabilities (Asperger's and a crooked smile). There were these annoying boys on the bus in first grade who used to "bully" me, and I used to feel hurt, but I'm sure if I met them now, they'd regret it. Kids, you know.
On the Christian thing...curlyb, I'm Catholic, and it IS possible to be gay, happy AND living a life devoted to God. Rob is living proof. Most of the homophobia by the WBC and other "Christians" stems from a Jewish law. If you follow Christ, you're not a Jew. Just FYI.
