					<description><![CDATA[Mary,



&lt;i&gt;You sound very angry.&lt;/i&gt;



Not particularly.  I am, however, stridently aggressive toward bullies.  The only way to get a bully to stop abusing you is to be more vicious to the bully than they are toward you.  And when someone states or intimates that I deserve to die of a &quot;dirty sex&quot; disease, or that I am prone to maliciously infect someone with a &quot;dirty sex&quot; disease, then I get mean.



That said, it looks like I misread you, so I apologize for my harsh words.  You deserve a good life, too.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[J. James,



You sound very angry.   There is no hidden meaning behind what I wrote.  And my friends were engaged in the same kind of activities as myself.  That I am alive and healthy is - a fluke.



I hope you find happiness in your endeavors and someone to love you as you love them - whomever that may be.



I too have been mistreated by evangelical christians and I assume the same has happened to you.   I hope you are able to meet people that are kind, encouraging, supportive and most of all true.



You deserve a good life, too.]]></description>

&lt;em&gt;You may not believe what I wrote. That is your choice. I cannot force you to believe anything.&lt;/em&gt;



What an obvious thing for you to write.



&lt;em&gt;I do not approve of gay sex for myself. As for others - that is their decision to decide what is acceptable to them and what is not.&lt;/em&gt;



You&#039;re holding back, Mary.



Would you prefer that your gay friends not have gay sex? (Yes/No)



Is gay sex impure? (Yes/No)



&lt;em&gt;My friends did not deserve to die anymore than I deserve.&lt;/em&gt;



I suspect you are an evangelical, for your words sound suspiciously like the &quot;We&#039;re all trash and deserve to die!&quot; misanthropy that evangelical Christianity imposes upon people.]]></description>
