My question is this: do you believe that homosexuality is a sin or not? My now ex boyfriend (who was raised Jewish and then became a very strong Christian) recently came out to me. I am haveing a very hard time dealing with this. So, what do you think..... |
It's been, wow, a long time since I posted here. Sin itself is defined by your religion, and is more or less a religious term. If we want to talk semantics, yes, homosexuality is a sin by virtue that some religions view it thus. Asking whether homosexuality is
wrong or not is a completely different question.
I do not believe homosexuality is wrong, as I don't think it's a choice. Given our social climate, I find it hard to believe anyone would decide to be gay. What's more, it's been occurring for pretty much as far back as written history goes, including cultures where shunning was the very least they would do to you if they found out your secret.
So, to sum up, nothing 'made' him gay, just like nothing makes you heterosexual. You simply are. He cannot be fixed, nor should it even be tried because he is not broken or abnormal in any way. Continue to be his friend and support him. I have a feeling he's probably freaking out more than you are.
