in Intervention: Tressa - Follow up on Some Chick's Blog
First of all, I hope that Tressa somehow reads this. I happened to catch her story just last night and it left enough of an impression for me to do some searching this AM. Tressa, may be peace be with you...you are not alone, the way you feel towards women is PERFECTLY normal and never be ashamed of who you are!
Putting her addiction aside, I really hope that her FAMILY seeks some counseling to help them accept and cope with a daughter that is only trying to live her life within the "deck" that she has been dealt. They need to be taught that their daughter will not go to hell for merely loving another human being. It still saddens me to know that there are people out there who so blindly accept that being gay = sin. I watched her story. It is so clear that Tressa was born a lesbian and for the family to tell her that she is on a path to hell for something that she has no control over is wrong and only underscores their lack of education on the matter.

I think Tressa's parents are very conservative and take the "tough love" approach and apply it to how God sees his children. God hasn't abandoned Tressa and her parents shouldn't act as if he has. I know they love her dearly, but they need to stop stating that she will go to hell for being gay -- if sinning = going to hell then we would all be going to hell in a hand-basket.
