Sexual Orientation Aside, a Valued Life is Best

I have a story with certain similarities to this of which I read but with some important differences. I became sexually active at age 11 with a neighborhood boy. Prior to this I was already having deep identity struggles. I grew up with an innate sense of weakness, fearfulness and a severe lack of healthy parental role modeling. The vacuums present within were 'fair game' for exploitation. Later in life, as an adult, I was moved into a journey of much healing from a wide variety of issues, my sexuality was but one area needing to be addressed. One book that I found quite amazing was written by Dr. Elizabeth Moberly from Great Britain. The book, titled "Homosexuality: A New Christian Ethic", was challenging and rather revealing. I did not fail to miss that all of the potential factors that could lead to such gender confusion and an eventual inappropriate sexual response had taken place in my formative years. (Plus - I see no mention of potential demonic influence in this area.)
