We're days off of Christmas, one of the most crazed Christian holidays. So while we're in a sharing mood why not talk about gay men and religion?
Gay men and religion have a sorted relationship. Religion is used too often to demonize us and our relationships even though many guys hold religious and spiritual beliefs in higher powers, as they define them.

Many remain dedicated, regardless of what houses of faith say about men loving men. Others choose personal spiritual relationships that are more one-with-one and less one-against-many. Some don't practice at all.
Regardless of religious or spiritual practice, how important is it in your relationship? Are you comfortable maintaining your beliefs in a relationship where your boyfriend thinks otherwise? Would you share an inter-faith relationship? Or, as opposite, is a religion a deal breaker?
