[Faith-talk] false accusations

[Bonnie A]

Again, that's a whole different ball of wax, Beth.  I am Native American and 
homosexuality is unacceptable in our culture.  The culture I come from is 
such that we still listen to our elders and medicine people and both say 
this kind of behavior brings on "bad medicine."  This is why you don't hear 
about the diseases such as HIV and AIDS in other cultural areas.  If a 
Native American is living in a homosexual lifestyle, very few people know 
about it.

That's not always true.  We, European Americans, brought down the
Native Americans by way of diseases, uncleanliness, and ethnic
cleansing so to speak.  We called it God's being on our side.  Right?
The Roman and Greek cvilizations did partake in homosexuality, but the
Native Americans were very peaceable people, and look what Juan Ponce
de Leon, da Gama, and many other Spanish, English, French, Dutch, and
Portuguese explorers did to this continent before it was the United
States of America!
