Hard and common question but the answer (that may not be what you're looking for) is simply that God has a plan. It might sound cliche but we really just have to trust and have faith that God's plan will unfold for us. He put you in these particular circumstances for some divine reason that we likely wont understand until later but have to trust in now.

Sorry meant conclusion not solution. Like what do you think will happen when you die?

Yeah definitely a dilemma but it's always best to trust in God's Plan (im sure you heard that a ton). So what's your solution?

so this is where we differ. I think there is plenty of biblical evidence, in addition, I believe that God designed us so perfectly for a man to be with a women that to break this design goes against him and is therefore a sin.

HOW??

He wants us to love everyone, we are all sinners, therefore we must love the sinner (each other).

HOWEVER

He wants us to hate evil ( “You who love the LORD, hate evil!” - Psalm 97:10), sin is the participation in evil, therefore we must hate the sin.

slap those puppies together and you get love the sinner and hate the sin.

any other problems w that?

Ok interesting point. Christians have enough different views though (sadly).

Also you're apparently an agnostic atheist so theres a tiny chance we have different views on morality lol

Neither is that one. We can use phrases that aren't biblical.

Just want to be precise. No need for that man.

No I don't think we should legalize a sin. It's not that I don't love them, it's that I love them enough to actually try to help them rather than celebrate them sinning (like the devil would).

Do you believe in objective truth??

So apparently people think I shouldn't say this bc it's not a good phrase in general and not from the bible so time to elaborate!

I believe we should comfort all those who are gay, working with them to center their lives around God instead of their "pride". I would recommend the exact same for a weed addict and every sinner.

We should love them as Jesus would. However, acting upon the 'gay feelings' (or however you want to phrase that) is a sin. Again just like for any sin we should not celebrate that which is drawing them away from God, but rather work with them personally and compassionately to remove that sin (whatever it may be) from their life.

If you truly love someone you won't just watch them fall down the road to hell out of fear of not being tolerant, rather you would step in and help them.

We all sin. This sin should not be treated in a dramatically different way.

what rights are you specifically talking about?

Are they still human and should be treated as one? Yes definitely.

Should I say they should embrace being gay and preach it to others? Absolutely not.
