WHY DO SOME CHRISTIANS BELIEVE ’S OK TO BE GAY, WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS ISN’T?

For every verse that anti-LGBTQ Christians say nmns homosexualy, there are a dozen that clearly nmn somethg we support or support somethg we nmn (which isn’t to say that those passag even do nmn queer people). I have a nfsn to make to you: sometim, when I lay bed on particularly rtls nights (ually when I’ve stayed up way too late and had way too many Pepsis) I stare at the ceilg and ntemplate eher (a) the vastns and meangls of the Universe or (b) “what if they are right and is a s to be gay??? And then eventually I fall asleep and allow to slip away three s of relentls homophobia that have been thrown at me.

Why do some people thk ’s OK to be gay? The Christian church has reacted to this growg unrstandg of gay, lbian, and bisexual people many ways that have not been supportive, om skepticism and fear to nmnatn and excln, and even to outright physil vlence and abe. Christians who reject same-genr relatnships and/or gay, lbian, and bisexual people often ce the Bible as the source of their cisn.

Many Christian people, misters, church, and nomatns wele lbian, gay, and bisexual people to the full life of the muny whout requirg their celibacy om same-genr relatnships. The ncept of sexual orientatn and the existence of gay, lbian, and bisexual people simply were not ias that the Bible wrers had accs to.
