I am not that exposed to that gay pride stuff I guess being on the east coast. It is not as much in my face. Here are some of my conclusions from the other thread that may or may not apply:
Lastly, I a really leaning toward this person's quote to sum it up for me anyway..
"NO Homosexuals are not condemned by their acts, but by their heart condition if they don't REPENT and ask FORGIVENESS. God died to save us ALL and that includes homosexuals, murderers, rapists, pedophiles, molesters, adulterers, etc "
What have I gained from this? Perhaps have more compassion for these people as it seems they have a strong PULL toward this nature for many reasons. I think as a society, we look on these people as though "who are you kidding, you are a man not a woman so stop acting like one." When, bec of "factors," they aren't "posing", they really have a strong pull toward it. However, if they are following God's word, they should try not to give in and repent! The same with violent offenders. They have biological factors (studies show very high testosterone) and family (or lack there-of) and socio-economic factors which yank them in the direction of being tempermental and violent. Does this excuse them from the behavior, especially if they are hurting people, no. Unfortunately, some are destined to live very tough lives but we must still follow Gods word.
What would help would be less emphasis put on sexuality EVERYWHERE. As a heterosexual, I can't go anywhere in the US without seeing risk'ae (spelling?)on a poster or women flaunting and flirting. I mean it is everywhere! It is all over the toob as well! AND in our music !
