GAFON GB RPONDS TO COE SYNOD VOTE ON GAY BLSGS

The afternoon discsn on July 9 was billed as an “rmal update” on a Febary vote, which General Synod accepted s bishops’ plan to allow prits and ngregatns to bls gay and lbian upl who already are married unr Brish civil law. They say the change leav place the Church of England’s other teachgs on marriage and sex that margalize the liv and relatnships of gay and lbian upl.

BISHOPS LEAVE PARISH CLERGY VULNERABLE AFTER GS VOTE ON BLSG GAY UNNS

In scribg the prayers, bishops have acknowledged that some of the relatnships beg blsed will be those of sexually active gay upl, who would be vlatg the church’s teachg that sex is rerved for heterosexual marriage. I myself lived as an openly gay male for 12 years and ed me, but by God’s grace, not permanently. I wasn’t a Christian when I cid to step away om my gay life however; I learned the hard way that homosexual relatnships are dysfunctnal and the gay inty is self-seekg and by flt self-stctive.

As I grow spirual matury, my tert homosexualy is creasg whilst my natural God-given tert women creas, thanks to the love of our lord and savur J Christ, who shows me more and more every day what means to be a man of God: self-sacrificg, passnate and missn-led, among many other thgs.

The argument agast the blsgs was sentially “Bee scripture says so”, a scriptural tth that awkwardly suggts homosexuals simply mt live a life of abstence wh no plats. This is bee knowledge of the homosexual ndn (and perhaps even genr as a whole) has been buried out of sight of the mastream for s. Tellg the average homosexual to absta for the rt of their life is like a parent nmng an fant to a life whout s dummy – the removal of the pacifier much upset.

EX-GAY MAN’S VIEW OF THE GENERAL SYNOD VOTE ON GAY BLSGS

I have e to unrstand that homosexualy has been my own pacifier of choice. Treated people wh unwanted same-sex attractn for over 30 years and stated emphatilly throughout his reer: “Homosexualy is not about sex; ’s about shame”.

The general ia the se of a homosexual male (for stance) is that the boy has over-intified wh his mother and rejected intifitn wh his father at a ccial stage of his early velopment. The homosexual man seeks himself through sex other men, but he of urse miss the mark. It’s those early experienc that we need to pay attentn to: the pre-homosexual boy mak the unnsc choic often due to an emotnally distant father (sometim bee of his neglect or abe), an over-attached mother (who may be particularly anx or overpensatg for the father’s absence) and/or childhood sexual abe.

46% of homosexual men report havg been molted at a young age pared to 7% of heterosexual men (M E Tomeo, 2001). In a 45-mute YouTube vio, I went om believg I was born gay to seeg that my homosexualy was g a lot of grief and was lked to many other psychologil problems, which for me clud an eatg disorr – issu that were prevly unrelated my md. Love is, ed, love, but is homosexualy love?

RPONS TO GAY BLSGS CISN

In 1984, two gay rearchers, David McWhirter and Andrew Mattison, set out to enlighten gay men on what mak a good gay relatnship their work ‘The Male Couple’. They found that out of 156 gay male upl, not one of those upl were able to mata fily for more than 5 years (Van Den Aardweg, 1997, p. Although Nilosi’s explanatns of genr velopment and homosexualy are wily accepted among the ex-gay muny, not all ex-gay people engage therapy, for a variety of reasons.

Furthermore, I note that psychoanalyst Edmund Bergler stat his book ‘Homosexualy: Disease or Way of Life? Dutch psychologist Gerard Van Den Aardweg bas his own ias on Bergler’s by implyg that an addictn to self-py is what prevents the pre-homosexual boy om pg his genr-based hurts: “‘Many pre-homosexual boys had feelgs of “not belongg” wh their fathers, brother or other boys…the child and the adolcent tomatilly react to feelgs of ferry and “not belongg” wh self-py or self-dramatizatn…[he] n bee attached to this attu, pecially when he whdraws to himself and has no one to help him work through his problems wh unrstandg, enuragement and firmns. He boldly suggts that homosexuals are too self-seekg to love any way, let alone romantilly: “His plex directs his attentn to himself; he seeks attentn and love, regnn, and admiratn for himself, like a child.

Van Aardweg therefore nclus that the love gay upl have for each other is false: “Homosexual unns are clgg relatnships of two sentially self-absorbed “poor me’s”’ (Van Den Aardweg, 1997, p.

“Many homosexuals feign warmth and love for their partners and lu themselv to believg the sentiments are real, but effect they cherish a self-servg sentimentaly and play a game” (Van Den Aardweg, 1997, p. His harsh crique giv sight to why exactly homosexualy was perceived as, and tegorised unr, “Socpathic personaly disturbanc” the first edn of the Diagnostic and Statistil Manual of Mental Disorrs back 1952, before was removed 1974 – one of the many us of the so-lled sexual revolutn. I hope at this stage that ’s clear to the rear that to love a homosexual means to help them expose and procs their hurts around their genr fic and enurage them to walk fah wh their brothers (if a man) or sisters (if a woman) to help them tablish a healthy genr inty.

LORD CAREY WR TO THE TIM ON SYNOD’S VOTE FOR GAY BLSGS

Another favoure argument of the pro-LGBT crowd, if we fail to addrs the roots of homosexualy, is “LGBT people need acceptance”. Gay marriage beme legal for the first time back 2001 the Netherlands.

Yet 2013, Dutch gay men were still three tim more likely to have a mood disorr and ten tim more likely to engage suicidal self-harm (Aggarwal & Gerrets, 2013). Acceptance of homosexual practic evintly did not help this populatn.

SYNODAL VOTE HOP TO LEGALIZE ‘GAY BLSG’

But I add that the irony the ncept of beg “proud” the ntext of LGBT is that as prevly outled, the homosexual ndn om a ep sense of shame and LGBT people are far om proud of who they are. The sad tth is that LGBT people will never be satisfied wh their imagary ia of acceptance, bee the very sence of their ndn lends self to what psychoanalyst Edmund Bergler lls “Injtice llectg”: “The entire personaly stcture of the homosexual is pervad by the unnsc wish to suffer; this wish is gratified by self-created trouble-makg…if [external difficulti] were to be removed…the homosexual would still be an emotnally sick person” (Bergler, 1962, p.
