I read a newspaper article today which left me shaking my head. It was about what an atrocity homosexuality is and how a homosexual union should be more expensive than a wedding between heterosexuals. So let me get this straight, if you're gay you have to pay more taxes? That is so not fair! It's also not fair to pay more taxes because you choose to be Moslem, Buddhist or Christian, is it? Then that is a free decision too, choosing who you want to serve and love.
It also discussed that homosexuality was a disease, it killed millions of people due to its depravity and that children who were brought up consenting homosexuality were the future perverts.
It also went on saying that heterosexual marriage was the "natural way of life". So what happens when you are born different? What if you are wired differently in your brain?
Now here is my two cents about the subject:
First, being gay is not a mental or bodily disease. It is a preference toward a certain sexual orientation. Now don't tell me that being gay makes you more or less of a person. Some men like big boobs and long legs, some are attracted to short, pixie, boyish looking girls, some men are attracted to men, some women to women. That is homosexuality. It is not a reason to hate another person, just because their tastes are different than yours!
Second, being heterosexual does not automatically make you a better person. I know of a lot of heterosexuals who cheat on their wives, have affairs all over the place or even beat up their partners and kids. Does that make them less of a person? In my opinion, a lot less than liking someone of your same sex. I have also known a lot of homosexuals who are incredibly successful, have long, loving relationships and are a very welcome and positive part of society.
Is the real sin of being homosexual the fact that YOU don't feel comfortable watching two women holding hands? Or is it a sin that they don't stay in the closet? Is it accepted if a man beats up his wife and gives her AIDS because he slept with a prostitute, just because he doesn't inconvenience anybody by showing what he's about outside of his home?
In a religious sense, I know that homosexuality has existed since the dawn of mankind. Nowadays, it's just all "in your face" because the media have made it so accessible. However, it has existed long before Sodom and Gomorrah. Jesus had a very concrete, unmistakeable answer to this subject. He said in John 13:34-35 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”. That means love the people who are different, despite their differences, because of them. Love the sinner, hate the sin! Learn to appreciate the varierty that God has created, because God created homosexuals, bisexuals, transgendered, hermaphrodites, blacks, asians, latinos and europeans as much as He created you and me. And if somebody is going to judge them, let it be God in His righteousness. Let it be God who decides if they have a place in heaven. All I know is that Jesus died for them too. And who am I to judge His creation and perfect plan?
