In my experience, the response I get from people has much more to do with my own feelings about myself and my self-presentation than my weight. When I feel sexy and good about myself, whether I'm Twiggy or Zaftig makes no difference; I'm sexy. And the opposite is also true: I can be super-model skinny and no one even looks at me if I'm depressed or feeling bad about myself. So you might want to check your self-image, not just your scale. Loving yourself is definitely the key to attracting love from the outside.

i find the comparison between homosexuals and alcoholics intriguing...and highly offensive. this type of moralistic logic is a perfect illustration of the fear-based judgements debbie referenced in her original post. i would be fascinated to hear a breakdown of exactly how alcoholism and homosexuality are equally dangerous to society, from someone who believes that to be true.

well, Negel, this one's still on the table. you are not alone in wanting to know whether homosexuality is 'nature' or 'nurture' or some combination thereof. the 'sinfulness' issue is an entirely separate and equally undecided one. it really comes down to a very private matter of your own beliefs, which it sounds to me like you are just beginning to explore outside of your upbringing. as for me, i think my 8 year old son put it best when he said 'i don't get it. why would an all-powerful god create people who he *knew* would do certain things if those things were wrong? he sounds like kind-of a meanie to me' best of luck in your search for truth!
