What should be the attitude of the church toward lesbians and gays? Answer Read a story from a woman who struggled with lesbianism  They’re crime-fighting hotties with killer bodies. Producer’s synopsis: “To the outside world, the D.E.B.S. look like picture-perfect, plaid-skirted, well-schooled young women. But really they are our nation’s first line of defense. Their arch enemy?
