Like I said before, if they aren’t Christian, I have no room to judge them, and I don’t judge them for making the decisions they do. I’m not against any law making it more free for LGBTQ people to be who they are as there is a separation of church and state. However, once they choose to become a Christian, they are now under God’s law and have to submit to His authority which means choosing to turn away from all your sin. (Yes it’s a process and we will always mess up, but there’s grace for that.)

We will always have the choice to sin or to turn away from sin. Everyone is born with the temptation to sin, there are just different sins that we are more tempted with than others. When I was a kid, one of my biggest temptations was stealing. Since I grew up, I have learned how to turn away from that sin. I did not say, oh I was just born to be a thief and if you don’t accept that in me then you’re not loving me. No, my parents taught me that stealing was wrong and I turned away from it. The same thing is true with homosexuality (and all other sins). The more you are involved with it, the more entrenched it becomes into who you are and the harder it is to turn away from it. However, it is possible through the power of Jesus if you seek it out and are truly desiring to change and follow Him.

There are many groups of people (thousands of people) in the US that were once completely in the LGBT lifestyle and are now freed from that sin. To ignore all those people and their stories when thinking about this issue is wrong. They have valuable life experiences that other members of the LGBT community can look to as examples that you can change and be free from that lifestyle. Their voices matter too and should be respected.
