I am American but my Pastor is probably anything BUT the typical preacher that might fit a stereotype mold. He is the coolest man of the cloth that I have ever known. He has no problem going to a bar for a pizza or even going to a rock concert if it is convenient and he see's a need for him to be there. He loves the Lord and loves young people (teenagers have a very special place in his heart), and people in general. He is one of my best friends in the world because he knows all about my being a BL and has absolutely no problem with it because he also knows were my heart is, too. We live in a small town and small comunity that is very close-knit and although people here can tend to be prejudicial when it comes to gays and especially when it comes to BL's, I have not seen too much of that while living here. A lot of what I think I see can probably be chalked up to paranoia I think.
