So the first thing I noticed about Caitlyn Jenner's photo shoot was her long gorgeous hair. I wondered if it's her natural hair or if she bought it (and if she did where did she buy it?!) I also noticed with interest that she chose long flowing hair because in our culture, like it or not (and I don't like it!) long hair is associated with femininity. 

I could identify with her in some ways. I am having some very nice professional photos made this weekend of me with no wigs, nothing on my head and I'm going to share them on FB, on Instagram, just as openly as I share on this site. And I'm hoping I will be accepted. I'm thinking she might have felt some of that too.

I also know what its like when your outside appearance doesn't match the way you feel on the inside. I've always been a "girly girl" and now I'm bald. I wear wigs when I go out because I feel prettier in them. So I kinda get where she's coming from. And I'm certainly not going to judge or tear this woman down. We all want to be loved and accepted for who we are.

Linda Rollins, you are a light shining in a very dark place.  Christians who reject the legitimacy of the homosexual lifestyle are routinely denounced a homophobic, intolerant, even hateful.  There is thus tremendous intimidation concerning this issue.

To determine if anything is right or wrong one must have a standard by which the questionable action may be measured. The only one with the full authority to set such a standard is the creator and sovereign of all things. Since God has given humankind His Word in the Bible that is the source of determining if anything, including homosexuality, is morally right or wrong. Cultural and personal preferences vary, however the standard of the creator who made all things does not.

Hi All. I agree with Linda and God's child.

God created men and God created women. Homosexuality or sex change is against God's plan for humankind. We choose to live the way we do, because we Love our Sin too much. And yes we all sin and fall short of the glory of God. And yes we love Bruce Jenner, but it doesnt mean we have to agree with the sin nature. Only God can restore and change, only His desires should fill us, not our own. When we allow our fleshly desires to take control of us, God allows us, because we have not turned to Him for grace or mercy or to help us. The enemy (Satan) plants these seeds of sin and wordly desires within us to turn away from God and Hi splan for Human kind. To Bruce Jenner when you stand before God and he ask Why Bruce did you decide to do what you have done? What will His answer be... God you made me like that, no Buce God did not,  you desire the flesh and what the world says not what I God say about you... Bruce can perhaps say, I didnt understand salvation when clearly in the book of Romans it states that creation alone speaks of the existance of God, we can not go without wonder or reason how it came about. God is real and He is making His return, are we ready, even us as Christians, are we ready. I dont hate Bruce, but I would love him with the same love God has for him, but the sin I cant agree with and yes Bruce its not to late, God is still able to save and change and restore. He Is God! Almightly, all knowing and all seeing. He knows the intent of our hearts. To restore and to fix and to heal is part of God's plan, but to change from what is right to what is wrong, is not in God's plan.  So religion is not an excuse and if we had to be religious, we would be perfect , but we not, even us as Christians are not perfect, we not without sin We are spiritual and not religious. The book of Romans is very clear, please read it and when you do, ask of God to reveal His word unto you. The word of God holds power and truth, its sharper than a double edges sword and God even says I honour My Word above my own name. To Bruce Jenner, God loves you, He is not happy with sin and God is so Holy, the bible says He is 3 times Holy, God cant stand sin, hence He sent His Son to die so that we can have access through Christ to Him. You still have time to make right Bruce Jenner . God is still in the business of healing, restorind and Best of all, FORGIVING! Amen. Be blessed.

I suffer from hair loss and Im trusting in God to restore, because I know He can, but even if He doesnt, I wont change, not love Him less nor turn from Him, because i know that my reward in heaven awaits Me. Blessings

Everyone has a right to freedom of speech. I don't agree that homosexuality or being trans is a sin or wrong in any way, but I will defend someone's right to express that belief. I think in this overly-PC world people have become intolerant of those whose religious beliefs do not follow the narrative of the liberal media.
Comment by Ulli on June 11, 2015 at 5:58am

Freedom of speech? Okay, here goes:

There is no god. The bible is a pretty boring book of fairy tales. But that's just my perception of it and I'm fine if I can agree to disagree with anyone who believes differently. And since I don't believe in any god at all, threats like going to hell or being punished be some deity just don't work for me. ;-)

What DOES work for me, though, is my strong belief in the fact that we are all born equal and should in conclusion have equal rights and equal duties.

Christian (or other religious) morals/beliefs are NOT the universal standard to judge people.

You may believe that certain lifestyles are a sin but that is just YOUR perception, your understanding, your opinion of morality but our planet and we as human beings are more diverse than that. 

So if you fight/speak up against or even deny equal human rights of any kind, you ARE homophobic/racist/sexist/intolerant/whatever!

In addition to the biblical arguments for God’s existence, there are logical arguments. First, there is the ontological argument. The most popular form of the ontological argument uses the concept of God to prove God’s existence. It begins with the definition of God as “a being than which no greater can be conceived.” It is then argued that to exist is greater than to not exist, and therefore the greatest conceivable being must exist. If God did not exist, then God would not be the greatest conceivable being, and that would contradict the very definition of God.

A second argument is the teleological argument. The teleological argument states that since the universe displays such an amazing design, there must have been a divine Designer. For example, if the Earth were significantly closer or farther away from the sun, it would not be capable of supporting much of the life it currently does. If the elements in our atmosphere were even a few percentage points different, nearly every living thing on earth would die. The odds of a single protein molecule forming by chance is 1 in 10243(that is a 1 followed by 243 zeros). A single cell is comprised of millions of protein molecules.

A third logical argument for God’s existence is called the cosmological argument. Every effect must have a cause. This universe and everything in it is an effect. There must be something that caused everything to come into existence. Ultimately, there must be something “un-caused” in order to cause everything else to come into existence. That “un-caused” cause is God.

A fourth argument is known as the moral argument. Every culture throughout history has had some form of law. Everyone has a sense of right and wrong. Murder, lying, stealing, and immorality are almost universally rejected. Where did this sense of right and wrong come from if not from a holy God?

Amen God's Child! I would rather LIVE believing there is a GOD than Living Believing That There isnt and then Find out that all this Time There Is a God! Eternity is Real, HELL is very real. A Simple Example: What convinces me that there is a Creator?’ Look at the human body. “It’s so detailed and complex, and all of its parts work so well together. The human body couldn’t have evolved!” 

Jesus. The most amazing thing about God is not that He exists, but that He loved us so much He was willing to send His Son to earth to save us from ourselves. Jesus was with the Father from the time of creation, and His arrival was predicted numerous times in Old Testament prophecy. Finally He interrupted history and came to live among us. His crucifixion is historical fact, and His resurrection was verified by hundreds of witnesses. The man who perhaps knew Jesus best—the apostle John—saw the risen Christ and touched His nail-pierced hands. He wrote, “What we have seen and heard we proclaim to you” (1 John 1:3). Jesus is not an illusive fairy tale. He is the living, breathing, touchable Son of God.

Bruce's hair was a bit thin at the front.  This pic is very enhanced.  Hollywood can make anyone look like anything they want.  Caitlyn was seriously worked on for that pic.  Just like every Hollywood shoot.

Comment by Vicki on June 11, 2015 at 8:33am

Ask yourself this - is wearing a wig w/alopecia not being who you are? I see time and time again where some feel as though they somehow are being dishonest by wearing a wig. Does the same apply to makeup, nail polish, colored contact lens, spanx, push up bras, tans, wearing heels etc, etc? So what's the difference? Just a side note... I agree w/Snoop Dog. Bruce Jenner is a science project and there are more important things going on in the world than to focus on him.

Comment by Ulli on June 11, 2015 at 8:37am

THANK YOU Debbie Fuller!!!

I'd rather talk about photoshopped pictures (and the awesomeness that is Caitlyn) than imaginary friends.

I think Caitlyn has extensions, just like so many other ppl and it looks great on her. Plus her pictures were of course worked on, but hey, why not? It is a huge issue (obviously) and we all would do the same and try to look our best for the occasion, right?
