Finally some good news! is not true that all religions condemn and despise the ' homosexuality, but there are some, of course, a minority, who support us and accepted! One of these is represented by Waldensian. This news has opened up new frontiers, turning the spreanza to the men who have long been wandering in the darkness. First who are the Waldensians? They base their religion on three points: 1 - the Bible, 2 - Christ; 3 - Faith . What differentiates the Waldensian Church Catholic Christian community is the lack of pictures in the churches, the marriage of the shepherds and the rejection of the relics. The Waldensians also do not recognize the principle of succession of bishops and say that between Christ and the Church there are no intermediate authority. The people of faith is sure to be guided in his faith directly by the Spirit of the Lord and therefore the Church must not give directions concerning the political or sexual ethics of individuals. Moreover, the fundamental point in my , the Waldensian Church supports the idea of \u200b\u200ba secular state (AMEN). On the official website of the Waldensian Church ( http://www.chiesavaldese.org/ ) you can find the " Document on 'homosexuality joint session of the Fourth General Assembly of' UCEBI and the Synod of Churches Waldensian and Methodist (3 to 4 November 2007) "which is to be expressed soliderietĂ against the gay community and are condemned actions intolerance towards them. I reproduce below the main points of Docemento mentioned above, in order to clarify the thinking of the community about the Waldensian 'homosexuality :
The fourth joint meeting of the General Assembly' s UCEBI and the Synod of Waldensian and Methodist
:
1. believes in a God of love who first welcomed us by calling us to a vocation in the spirit of
welcome step in Romans that says "Welcome one reason each other's
as Christ has welcomed you for the glory of God "(15:7);
2. believes that human beings are fundamentally be in a relationship with God and with his next
and that the human relationship of love, lived in complete freedom and reciprocity, both
sustained by the promise of God;
3. expresses appreciation the fact that many local churches, associations and regional Baptist
circuits Waldensian and Methodist churches have addressed on the basis of
document produced by the Working Group on ' homosexuality, even in joint meetings, the
theme of 'homosexuality , peacefully, with open minds and prejudices;
4. confessing the sin of discrimination of homosexual persons and
sufferings imposed on them by the lack of solidarity, condemning every verbal, physical and psychological
every persecution against homosexuals;
5. calls on all believers and all believers to support those efforts to build a
culture of respect, of listening and dialogue;
6. invites the churches to accept gay people without any discrimination ;
7. Calls on the churches, in view of a secular state, to support and promote
concrete projects and initiatives aimed at recognizing people's civil rights and couples
discriminated on the basis of ' sexual orientation;
8. hopes that the discussion and reflection, a reading informed thorough and careful
exegetically of Scripture, also continue in the future, starting from
recognize sisters and brothers in our common faith in Jesus Christ

Homosexual persons, as well as all others, must be accepted without discrimination , we need to support projects which recognize the rights civilian homosexual persons and we must be open to dialogue and confrontation. At the end is not what we want? Not what you're trying to get in vain for years? My only hope is that one day all religions of the world can open their eyes and start to love all people regardless of skin color , by culture and ' sexual orientation, and I hope that one day the other religions can open the gates of paradise to us gay, just as it did the Waldensian Church. I still see a long and winding road ahead of us, but in the end you know, hope is the last to die!
