    I think some churches have tackled this in such a wrong way and sent many men and women to the dark places and caused them to leave God . I am gay and going on for God , but I view what the bible says about gay to be the truth . It is so simple a christian repent´s of his sins , some he can stay away from and some he can´t stay away from and lives in God´s mercy and grace till things change . We have our old man with us til we die so the struggle is not going away for any sin . To add in my repentance to forgive me for being gay is no problem for me at all and how I do dealing with it , is up one day down the next , which is both fine because we cannot redeem our self's . God knows we can just do our best and that is what he is really after,, us accepting his way and being willing . How we do is secondary . I´m sure you know all this , but so many don´t know how to handle it , they think they have to reject God or say it´s ok to be gay(which means to have sex with same sex person) It´s not that men can´t love each other. King David loved Jonathan loved each other .But they didn´t have sex. Even straight single people today think it´s a joke not having sex before marrige. I hope this does not offend you , it was written to some who don´t know what to do . I wish you and yours all the best and God bless you.

    sputnic What makes you think the Bible has any relation to God? And why do you believe that everything that’s written in that book must be true? There are too many historical inaccuracies in the Bible, starting with how old Earth is.

    Gay square dancing? Who knew that was even a thing?
