Understanding a sensitive subject

 This past week in my family relations class we touched on some very sensitive topics that were very hard to discuss but helped me understand further the importance of this subject. The topic that we discussed was about understanding same sex attraction. When I read that this was the topic that we would be discussing in the coming week I almost thought this was an answer to a prayer, someone very special in my life at the moment is having a hard time dealing with this and all I could think is ho important it is for me to understand this subject. Before class we were asked to watch a video on this topic that geared toward this topic. It was specifically for men that are currently dealing with this problem and they talked about their won experiences dealing with same sex attraction.

It was quite inspiring to hear these men tell stories about something that they were currently dealing with or something that that they were able to overcome. Overall I was able to pin point some things that helped me understand the situation much better so that I can then take what I've learned and apply it to my own life at this specific time in my life. In conclusion to this topic we talked about how many deal with same sex attraction and have been married for manny years then these feelings start to arise and are able to overcome it in some way. This topic is very near and dear to my heart but I'm so glad that we are able to openly discuss these sensitive topics.
