I hear a lot of different discussions and have seen things in the news regarding the "gay lifestyle." People say they are scared, angry and other not-so-nice things.

I thought about it all quite a bit, and wondered what that lifestyle is that scares people so much.

I know for me, I wake up to an alarm at 5 a.m. and that can be scary. I then shower and dress before I do prayer and meditation. Then I have breakfast, get my things together and head out for work.

I do that routine five days a week. Frightening, isn't it?

Sometimes there is a variation of the theme; I swim, walk, see a movie, laundry or work in the yard. Aside from all that, I might sit on the porch, watch a sunset, talk to a friend on the phone.

So, that's this gay lifestyle, and if that is as scary to you as it is to me, I understand people's concerns. Otherwise, I am completely baffled. Anyway, hope that helps.
