One thing I don't understand about G&L Christians.  Why is it so im****tant

that one know you are gay?  I have never discussed my ***ual preference, 
much less declared it in my church.  My parents certainly never did.  What

is the purpose in doing so?  Wouldn't a discussion/sup****t group do just
as 
well as declarations of ***uality in a church?  Seems the result is to
fire 
people up, irritate them.  How about quiet humility?
