If I were gay, I would be just as hurt and confused and angry as almost all other gay people are due to the way Society makes them feel. I have talked to some gay people,and gotten their perspective. They are different, and they know it. They feel different feelings than what society dictates they feel, and they are ashamed, something must be wrong with them. They go all through school with this attitude, and these feelings, and then continue on into society where it is even worse. If I were gay, I would have felt all these things. I would wonder how in the world people could think my Hell was a choice?
I would try to fit in, but it would never happen, and I would stick to more unconventional friends who didn't care I was gay. So many gay and lesbian human beings live their whole lives in a shroud of pretense and hypocrisy, so they don't have to feel the pain society would inflict on them if they knew. Who in this society, I say? Does society feel like this person? My uncle didn't tell a soul, his whole life, my family member hasn't told a soul but her partner, and when my friend told me, my reply was, "You're just finding that out now?"
In their beautiful homes, with their cushy jobs, and 2.5 kids, do they know the heartache of being an outcast your entire life? And on top of that, you have been persecuted since kindergarten. Do we honestly in our souls, believe that this loving God we pray to, and created this other group of people, cares what kind of sexual relations they have? And do we really feel that these people want to feel this way; it's a choice to suffer, commit suicide, overdose, addiction, or pretend your whole life?
Maybe, instead, this God is hoping his people will learn how to get along, since that is the meaning of life, to learn to love and be loved. Oh, I know all the Bible talk, but I don't believe everything in the Bible, or man's recollections. I'm sorry to those who do, I mean no disrespect, I simply believe in a loving God, and a God that doesn't even think about sex on Earth between His people. He's saying, "When are you going to get it?" He created us all, some might think this other group of people are His mistakes, only He doesn't make mistakes, and we all know it.
Anyone can go to a University or Lab, and see for themselves, scientific evidence that pinpoints a gene that would rule sexual orientation, and yet, they don't understand. We are so wrapped up in whether these people had a choice or not, that we are not focusing on the love and acceptance we are really supposed to be practicing.
God is this powerful entity, providing us with the majesty of the mountains and the beauty of the rivers and oceans, and the sunrise and sunset and moon and stars and all the flowers and trees for us to appreciate. Do we really think He is concerned with what some of His children do in their bedroom? Maybe men thought that, and wrote that, but a loving God who wants nothing but the best for His children, could not create of group of people and abandon them. They may very well be His chosen few who He placed here to test those who do not follow by His intentions of learning how to love.
When a mother looks down at her newborn, should she be caring what their sexual orientation is going to be? Or should she just cuddle it and care for it, an show it love? She herself, was a carrier of a lesson, which I think is an honorable role. She may not like it, but what should she do? Keep them home forever so the world doesn't have to put down someone else they don't understand, so they don't accept. Along with so many other people the "world" doesn't accept.
I'm not part of that world. I still believe it's a hard, lonely, and sad lifestyle, so I wouldn't necessarily want one of my kids to be gay, but if they were, I would accept it, I wouldn't disown them or stop seeing them, and at least I know I wouldn't treat them any differently, or love them any less. My opinion is meant in no way to infringe upon others' rights to be themselves. And I don't think they are demons or negative influences. There are inappropriate gay and lesbian people just like there are inappropriate heterosexuals.
If I went out to dinner with my boyfriend, and a gay couple, I would hope they were not thinking about my sexual behavior, as I wouldn't be thinking about theirs'. We are going out to dinner, and should be in that frame of mind. Who thinks about someone else's sexual activity while having dinner? Then, why make it a big deal any other time? I know, the Bible. Well, what if the Bible is wrong?
I feel that if we love everyone equally, and don't discriminate, be loving to all, we have a better chance of getting into Heaven than if we do everything right, and by the Bible, and scream at our kids, talk about our neighbor, put down the housekeeper, have an affair, steal from the company we work for, and lie to a friend who wanted a favor. But, many know every Bible verse. And yet, love is the answer. It's simple. And everything we should be thinking and learning and doing, should be reflecting that.
I had an uncle, a family member, and a good friend who were all gay, and they are all wonderful, giving, caring people who are contributing positive and loving energy to society. There's a hundred and seventy years of minutes that these people contributed to our world, and two are still alive to continue doing so. When I talk to them or see them, I enjoy their company.
I can't say the thought of their sexual orientation doesn't cross my mind, but in what I believe to be, a natural way. It in no means interferes with the care I have for them and the enjoyment I am getting out of being with them. What they do when they go home, is none of my concern, as I hope mine isn't to them. Some men take advantage of their wives, but because they are heterosexual, and they are married, it's alright. The Bible says so.
I cannot fathom why, with all the problems on the Earth, God would single out sexual orientation as a mortal sin. Why would He care? If it wasn't in the Bible, would it still exist, or would people accept some wonderful people into their lives? There's more to life than excluding groups of people. Except of course, when they are grown men dressed in robes and pretending to be good priests, and taking advantage of their power with young boys.
There is learning how to love, and I didn't get that from the Bible. I got that from my soul. There is the realization that whether hetererosexual, gay, white, chinese, black, indian, hindu, moslem or any other nationality, one Entity created us all, and loves us for who we are, and for who He created us to be. Scientists wouldn't have been able to uncover a gene that creates this, if one wasn't there. To further cast these people out when they already have a cross to bear, is not a loving and God like thing to do. However, making them feel like human beings, and treating them as such, now that's a God like thing to do.
