What a skilled way to chat with someone! Randy, you're certainly a professional. Ok, obvious statements aside... That was really encouraging. I can certainly identify with the feelings of being marginalized because of my walk with God, and that the education realm is propogating hate toward Christians. However, I am also prompted to turn to God's word on that emotion, so here we go... (2Co 4:8) We are experiencing trouble on every side, but are not crushed; we are perplexed, but not driven to despair; (2Co 4:9) we are persecuted, but not abandoned; we are knocked down, but not destroyed, (2Co 4:10) always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our body. (2Co 4:11) For we who are alive are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus'sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our mortal body. Thanks for hanging in there... both of you!

Thank you Susan, thanks for your unverified anonymous post USMC Officer. I've learned that all kinds of things can be made up and spread across the Internet. Including identities of real people being stolen by others willing to create profiles or sites on their behalf (i.e. what is termed "sock puppetry" on the web.) I did an interview, these are the results ... you can believe them or not.

USMC Officer

Randy, you are to be commended for attempting to make sense of Cpl. Sanchez. And for someone who isn't a journalist, you have a good rhythm of asking questions. I think the reason William Wilson posted was not to attack you, but to enlighten your readers about how many inconsistencies and untruths have been uncovered in the (very) many interviews Matt Sanchez has given since this controversy began, only a month ago. This isn't to say Sanchez shouldn't be forgiven, because I myself think he should get the help he needs, but to point out that he's made contradictory statements to the ones given here in other places. I am an Officer in the United States Marine Corps, so I have a particular interest in finding the truth in this case. Sanchez is still one of us, though I'm dismayed at how he's lived his life in the Corps. Unfortunately, he's engaged in prostitution while a member and that goes against our code in the Corps. I wish you continued success in your journalistic efforts, Randy.

Randy, a couple things. First, while my posting was long it wasn't nearly as long as the interview itself. Second, my posting consisted of verified facts. Your sympathies blind you to the truth. You are a Pharisee, protecting one of your own. It's funny, maddening and, as I look at today's politicized "Christians," all too predictable.

Good interview. I'll be reposting this on my blog because it intrigues me so. William Wilson responded to your decision to edit his comments with "so much for certain Christians and the truth..." Nothing in this interview concerns me. As you've stated in other posts recently, there really is a problem, in the view of many, with a man or woman changing the way they choose to live their lives. That point of view (Willim's included) certainly undermines the power of the mere human to make drastic changes in their lives simply because they want change. Add to that the additional power afforded mere humans through conversion or other meaningful spiritual experiences and we see humans changing all the time. Additionally, I don't see the problem with someone continuing to try to make such changes even if they relapse. Anything that is strongly addictive or deeply seated requires LOTS of active choosing over long periods of time to make changes. I'm still a work in progress regarding my sexually addicted, lesbian past...Yet, at the 17-year mark I have to say that it is a very rare day that I deal with any significant sexual temptation of any kind and I'm glad I've done the work required to find that peaceful place. Anyway, I appreciate this post and Sanchez's clear direction and his effort in living with some moral code and direction. As a conservative, I've got no problem with this man's history.

William, you are a pretty imposing legalist (as bad as any religious legalist I've met). Your comment was basically calling Matt a liar and then attempting to take over my blog with a mile long set of accusations. I don't owe you a soapbox. Even so, I did allow your assertion that he is a liar to remain.
It's not like you are the only one saying Matt is a liar. If people are truly interested they would find your arguments that he is alllll over the place. I respect that the Internet is larger than my blog and I don't owe you a soapbox no matter how manipulative you want to be.
I did an interview and posted it for what it is. If you want to copy/paste internet born arguments calling Matt a liar... do so on your own blog.
And even if Matt is a liar, which I don't think he was lying to me, I would hope to show him grace and forgiveness ... not name calling and manipulation like your comment (before the edit) was full of.
So, you are not banned from my blog but I am setting your user name to be moderated. I am also halfway savvy to "sock puppet" and "troll" kind of comments.

Randy, I did some quick checking on you. I hadn't known that you have a history of opening and then closing website, usually after you've been caught in one lie or another. I hadn't known of your connection to the Exodus Int'l ex-gay group. The ex-gay ministries are notorious for their recidivism rates.
I'd say Matt Sanchez found himself a good home here. He'll need one once the Marine Corps kicks him to the curb. You are truly made for each other. But keep it at arm's length, fellas. Jesus is watching.

My name isn't Susan. Who's unverified and anonymous? Are you somehow angry that I mixed some criticism in of Matt Sanchez along with my compliments of you?
Just calling them as I see them. Calling me Susan or "unverified anonymous" doesn't make one want to post here that much. Are you somehow implying I'm not an Officer in the Marine Corps? That's a road you don't want to go down, my friend. Did you think I was going to post my full name, DOB and SS#? The Internet doesn't work that way.
Randy

I was referring to Susan when I referred to Susan.
I am not angry a bit and thanks for the compliments. At the same time, you are an anonymous person claiming to be a Marine Officer.
Did I ask you for your DOB or SS#? Your second reaction is curious.

I am surprised there has even been controversy to what you transcribed, Randy. I read the interview, and thought it was fair. I believe Cpl. Sanchez has a right to choose, and, therefore, the right to choose to change his life for the better. Despite being outside the US, and a non-American, I had assumed that freedom was a tenet of the nation’s beliefs. Whatever the man’s past, he engaged in (I believe) legal actions, and in 2003, he chose to better himself by joining what he saw to be an honourable cause. The opponents suggest to me that they wish to shut the door on such decisions that, ultimately, could benefit their nation. Why they want someone who has done something that is, in their eyes, immoral to remain that way, I do not know. Is it convenience? Pigeonholing? I had hoped that forgiveness for those past deeds and allowing Cpl. Sanchez to serve his nation would be a more fitting gesture of any American. At the end of the day, regardless of nation, we are all human, and I believe in respecting Cpl. Sanchez’s free will.

no randy, you actually are the one who cant play. And... if you consider bashing your unaccepted gay self as some sort of play action, then you are more twisted than any cure camp you go to can possibly ever help you with. You are in denial. keep fighting. your power is not real. your words are silly because you sit in judgement and espouse god. immature hypocrite. Oh but have a nice day now ya hear.

Life is to precious to be limited to a gay centric ideology.

"It is as though the man is considered hypocritical primarily because he has a gay (or gay porn) history and yet aligns himself with conservative politics–calling himself a 'Regan Republican.'"
This is not the controversy at all as far as I know. I am certainly not in agreement with the homosexual lifestyle choice or the gay agenda. But allegations came out that Sanchez was not honest with the Corps about his activity as a gay prostitute. Also, the Marine Corps Times published an article stating that Sanchez had been discharged due to medical reasons. If by chance he was HIV+ and still having unprotected sex with other homosexual males, I would not at all consider him a "Reagan Republican". Bedroom behavior can be an indicator of someone's integrity. If Mr. Sanchez is struggling with same-sex attraction disorder, then we should offer him our prayers. But until he stops the actual behavior, his sinful lifestyle cannot be ignored. Remember, we ourselves embrace evil when we excuse others who hide their sinful practices.

note from Randy, William, get your own blog for posts a million miles long accusing Matt of all kinds of lying.
That was really encouraging. I can certainly identify with the feelings of being marginalized because of my walk with God, and that the education realm is propogating hate toward Christians. However, I am also prompted to turn to God's word on that emotion, so here we go...
(2Co 4:8) We are experiencing trouble on every side, but are not crushed; we are perplexed, but not driven to despair;
(2Co 4:9) we are persecuted, but not abandoned; we are knocked down, but not destroyed,
(2Co 4:10) always carrying around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our body.
(2Co 4:11) For we who are alive are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus'sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our mortal body.
Thanks for hanging in there... both of you!
