    As the title states, I got to meet with the leader of my Campus's LGBTQ center. This meeting as been a week in the making, it was nice to finally get to meet with her. We talked about why I feel like I am confused, what is going on in my head, everything that I have been going through in the passed couple of weeks, and how all of this relates to my faith life.

    It was a little nervous when I first started trying to talk with her, not because I do not trust her with this, because I do, it is just that I am still so confused on what I am doing and how it is going to affect me in the present as well as in the future. She asked if I was concern about this effects my faith life. When she asked, I explained that I do not view it as a sin, and that I am also a Universalist, as in the sense that I believe that all religions are in hence true in one way or another. I stated that I also believe that all pass lead to God. I do believe that there is some level of punishments for crimes that are committed in this life, but I do not believe that the punishment will last forever, and that the punishment will fit the crime.

    The thing with viewing it not as a sin has now become tricky. It was fine when it with others, I did and not view it as a sin for others, but me I am not sure. I am now looking inwards instead of outwards, and that is becoming a struggle. I then discussed my religious upbringing and my current religious life. Surprisingly, she was baptized in the the same denomination that I was also baptized in. She also gave me contact information for different pastors in the area that I can talk to about it.

    This gave me a lot to think about, but in a very good way. I am really glad that I got to with her and to get everything out, but this has been weighing on me for awhile.

    Okay, wall of text is done, now it is time for TV.
