Erin, how did u come up with the idea that we are gender neutral in the spiritual realm?? Is the some theory or hypothesis that might underlie this remark? i am very curious???

Alex Wu, i wonder how u reconcile with spiritual side dan accept yourself being gay?? Are u saying say that your religion or faith accepts homosexuality??

I have been struggling with Bible... about acceptance of gay. I have been driving myself nuts for some time now that i fail to reconcile religion with homosexuality...

PLEASE HELP!!!!
My advice is to stop equating religion with spirituality. I'm not going to go on a Bible-bashing spree, but it's important to remember that religions have cultural contexts, and when you try to reconcile our culture with that of a 2000+ year old book (which is actually a collection of documents, some of which are much, much older than 2000 years), you will naturally experience some dissonance.

Try reading some other texts along with the Bible, and try to reconcile them. That will be a very awareness-raising experience.
