Author's Note:
This chapter is simply an Author's Note. I'd just like to address some issues.
I had a reader write to me, complaining about the following part of the story...
"He came from a family of strong Christians; a faith where gay was not okay."
I would like the oppurtunity to deeply apologize to anyone who was offended by this line. I, myself, am a Christian and have absolutely no problems with gays. I would like to make it known that I was not trying to discriminate against Christians or call them homophobic. I know there are many Christians who accept gays with open arms.
My comment about gay not being "okay" was more so talking about the Bible's comments. We all know that the Bible is against homosexuality.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
Leviticus 18:22 - "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."
Leviticus 20:13 - "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."
Of course, most Christians have modernized the faith and come to accept homosexuals.
Why do I always go overboard with these things?
Anyway, the point of this is to apologize. I did not mean to offend anyone and I hope that this entry will clear up any confusion on the meaning of my comments.
Thank you for reading. I'll try to get the next chapter out soon.
