The other day I received the following e-mail from Susanne, a woman who found out her some years ago that her husband has same-sex attractions. I felt so moved by her words that I asked her permission to share them with you on the blog. I (recently) saw your Doin Time... and I was the one who asked about your wife during the discussion period that followed. I just read your thoughts on What About the Spouse ....and I can say, most women who find out their husbands are gay feel ALL of those things you wondered about....some in more degrees than others... When my husband was dragged out of the closet because of his irreverent, immoral, and amoral behavior that our, then, 14 and 16 year old sons had to find on our home computer, I went into the closet. I didn't know what to pray for.... Do I pray that this will go away? Do I pray that he could go back to the way things were in our family before we knew about him,? Do I pray that I could go back to the way things were? After all ,...

(My all-time favorite is The Gay Blade. The attention to detail with regard to '70s-era hair and clothing is really kind of an achievement in itself.
I also love the way the narrative departs from the standard Chick formula of unbeliever rejects the Word, unbeliever repents (or not), unbeliever dies suddenly.
I think maybe we need to pray that the Holy Spirit will cast out the demon that's taken hold of your friend Jon and that Jon will visit the Chick Publications Web site and come to understand the insidious dangers of Freemasonry, Mormonism, Islam, Catholicism, the Theory of Evolution, Dungeons and Dragons, "Bewitched," trickertreating, Ouji Boards, Christian Rock and translations of the Bible other than the KJV.
Amen.
