My Opinion
After reading Aineo's testismony I believe he is forcing himself to be heterosexual. I am sure he just supresses his homosexual desires, which he must do in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. He has had a lot of loss in his life to to AIDS both family and friends. He has AIDS himself, so I think this conversion to Christ and hetrosexuality is a way of him dealing with his own mortality. I am gay and I believe in living my life as a good honest person. I have had one partner for 9 years and am happy. I am not waiting to get to some heaven to be who I am. I was born as I am and I don't believe Almighty God is supposed to make mistakes. I have a good relationship with my father and mother and family and I have 5 brothers who are all straight and happy and love me.
If it is comforting for Aieno to cling to the idea of a utopian life after death because of his illness, so be it. It is a fact that the older people get, the more into religion they become. They need to believe that life is not ending when their earthly bodies are gone. I guess that makes a person feel better and relieves fear. I do feel it is a foolish way of thinking. As I get older into my mid thirties I sometimes ponder what life will be like without me here. I am just going to be gone, and it really does make one curious, but is does not scare me. I will be here through my daughter and nieces and nephews. They are all parts of me, and I am part of my mother and father and so on. What is this obsession we have with immortality, this everlasting life. I find it a very selfish concept. Why can't one life just be enough?
