Free Republic on AA and "embracing the homosexual lifestyle"

[ismnotwasm]

I don't know if any AA's have seen this, remember this *is* Freerepublic, and thus crazy talk. My husband, who isn't part of DU, is puzzling over this now. He sobered up at 24 years of age and has 31 years. He's kinda pissed at this bullshit, so I had to explain freepers to him. Yuk.

Here at DU, I've seen arguments on whether AA is a religious organization, (if it was, this agnostic wouldn't have 23 years sober, but-----whatever)

NOTHING but nothing has ever topped the weird factor of the Freepers:

Alcoholics Anonymous is an organization with Christian roots and like some churches has embraced the homosexual lifestye (although some modern AA's deny it). This video gives a little personal insight into how it was done. One of the links discussed in the video is "My name is Padric a Alcoholic (Gay).It is in the AA pamphlet entitiled: 'Are you different' Here is a link to the AA approved pamphlet and a short excerpt:
Are you different?

"In AA today, I know sober leather fans, transvestites, and members of every other sexual group there is. But the only important thing here is that we are all human beings, all alcoholics, and all in AA together"

Reading that AA embraces homosexuality is more than ‘disturbing’, rather it displays a severe character flaw.

On the other hand, perhaps the organization is recognizing that homosexuality, like alcohol, is an addiction.

Wonder if the embracement would include those inclined to pedophilia?

Update: my husband found words; "they're fucking nuts"

I feel a little bad exposing him to freeperland
