I am a J-lovg Believer and I also happen to have a gay sister, whom I love arly, so I have found myself the cx of this difficult and agile ntroversy for the better part of 14 years. What this ever-prent bate (wh both sis sharg flt behavr) has tght me, is somethg that has not been easy to swallow, but is this: a lot of Christians have missed the mark on this issue.

My tentn is not to fendargue a posn or discs homosexualy—’s about about human begs and how to bt rpond to them. * how to deal with being gay and a christian *
