[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with the idea that being gay is a sin is that it forces gay people to be something they are not. It forces them to live a lie that is far more destructive than the truth. It tells them that they are less than, that they are sinful and damaged, that they are broken. Have you known a closeted gay person who then came out? To be able to be yourself, fall in love, and live your true life is far closer to what God wants for us.

Gay people cannot become straight. They cannot "repent" and live a happy, fulfilled life as a straight person. We shouldn't ask them to. I don't believe Jesus would. [/quote]

If you consider having sex with someone of the same gender a sin, that does not necessarily mean that you want someone to lie or live in the closet.  The sin is the act, not the person.  I suppose the only real answer Christianity provides is to remain celibate in the case that you are gay.  But to lie, feel "broken" etc., is not necessarily true.[/quote]

Thankfully, there are plenty of Christians who don't believe that gay people have to live in celibacy. Only homophobes who think it's a sin think that's a fair solution. The rest of us have realized it isn't a sin in the first place.

No, the "rest of you" have simply discarded the parts of the Bible that for whatever reason (to be cool/ popular with your elite neighbors?), you don't like.[/quote]
