SGLE, GAY, CHRISTIAN - REVIEW
Gregory Col says the church should offer “breathg room” for gay Christians, like himself, who want to pursue sexual hols. * single gay christian book *
" Sgle, Gay, Christian is a great read for anybody, but pecially those terted qutns of marriage, sexualy, and relatnships general the ntext of the church. Upon first readg the story of someone who had grown up as a gay Christian and was mted to celibacy, she told me, “I’ve never heard an acunt like this before—om someone who voluntarily has the experienc but don’t pursue them.
In prev s, mastream disurse on homosexualy had prented her wh a false dichotomy: A person wh same-sex attractns uld eher choose to totally embrace them and promiscuoly act them out or else flee them entirely—ially, wh the goal of experiencg them no longer.

As a Christian who, sce the onset of adolcence, has experienced persistent attractns to other men, he has land at the center of the bate about the rrect moral rponse to homosexualy. In Sgle, Gay, Christian: A Personal Journey of Fah and Sexual Inty, Col wr whout an agenda but stead wh the hope of lightg a bean for other same-sex-oriented Christians who feel trapped a siarly dntg place. ” He knew his same-sex orientatn was not changg, but he lacked the nfince to move forward as a gay person nservative Christian circl.
When Col brought up the possibily of fay iends or mistry partners refg to accept him upon learng that he was gay, his typilly guard father replied, “If someone has a problem wh that, then screw them. We sometim act as though mted gay believers should have their approach to rencilg fah and sexualy entirely worked out, right this moment.
Col gets at this ficiency wh what he lls the “bumper sticker hermentic”: the assumptn that merely recg the six Bible passag directly addrsg homosexualy—likely lifted out of ntext—will offer sufficient persuasn. However, for this teachg to be a source of life and enuragement, we will have to do our utmost to help the same-sex-attracted brother or sister to, as Col stat, “thrive as a celibate gay person the church. But the celibate gay Christian is not at a temporary rt statn and n experience tense lonels ponrg the future, jt as Adam did the Garn.

When gay people are flatly told to “jt be celibate, ” this feels harsh and seems like a mand to settle for ls, if not an exprsn of outright prejudice.
