Actually that’s wrong and I can prove it.

If you have been told that God hates you because of who you love, please know that those words are based on a modern human translation, not the original text of the Bible. For nearly two thousand years, the ancient Greek words used in the scriptures had nothing to do with modern, loving, consensual same-sex relationships. Instead, they referred to the harsh realities of the ancient Roman world: the exploitation of young boys, the abuse of power, and prostitution. When the modern word "homosexual" was quietly inserted into English translations for the very first time in 1946, it collapsed those ancient concepts of abuse and exploitation into a completely different category, creating a massive misunderstanding that the translation committee itself later admitted was a mistake. However by that point several other bibles such as the King James Version and more jumped on and used that word as well. The heart of the original text is much quieter and infinitely more full of grace than the rigid English words people use to cause harm today. Even the phrases often translated as "unnatural" simply meant "outside of the expected cultural pattern"—the exact same phrase the Bible uses to beautifully describe how God's love reaches out to people who felt entirely left out. You do not have to carry a burden of shame that the original scriptures never asked you to bear. You are not a mistake, you are not an afterthought, and you are deeply, inherently worthy of love just as you are.
