WHAT IS WRONG WH GAY CHRISTIANY? WHAT IS SI A AND SI B ANYWAY?
Mudblood Catholic (Gabriel Blanchard) wrote a really tertg seven-part (as well as an excurs and a postscript) seri of blogs a while back on beg “Gay and Catholic.” I enurage you to check out each post, startg wh the first one that I’ve lked to.[1] In “Part I: Gaystatn 2,” Gabriel, a Si-B gay Catholic,… * side a vs side b gay *
Advot of this Si claim that the var Bible passag that prohib homosexualy (e. G., Levic 18:22; Romans 1:27; 1 Corthians 6:9–11) do not apply to morn gay relatnships.
They argue that the biblil thors were referrg to ancient sexual practic—or nonnsensual enunters—and not the lovg, monogamo, homosexual relatnships of today. Si B believers hold that homosexual orientatn is not a s, but actg on homosexual clatns is. Proponents of this view say that homosexualy is no different om any other s sce is listed among many ss and not sgled out (see 1 Timothy 1:8–11).
Si X Christians believe that homosexual attractn self is a s. God n and do change sful attractns, and homosexuals n be cured; Si X terms such as ex-gay and former LGBTQ+. Acrdg to Si X teachers, the phrasg Levic 18:22 and 20:13—specifilly the word ttable—tegoriz homosexualy as a terrible offense.

Ined, Si X’ers assert that homosexualy was the primary reason Sodom and Gomorrah were stroyed Genis 19 (cf. Josh Proctor, producer of the Life on Si B podst, summariz that, for Si X, “marriage and chaste sglens are both viewed as godly optns for people wh same-sex attractns to pursue, but while there are multiple ex-gay dividuals who end up sgle for life, the pursu of marriage is always seen as the higher llg” (, accsed 2/18/2023). Gay Christiany was born out of speratn.
Instead, the church typilly say homosexualy is a behavr to be modified through parachurch ex-gay mistri. The church nmned such feelgs as bad choic and nmned the people (like me) who experienced the feelgs as abomatns, falsely llg homosexual sir a willful choice.
HOW CELIBATE GAY CHRISTIANS DEAL WH DIRE
In the early 2000s, people wh abidg and lastg same-sex attractn gathered together unr the umbrella term gay Christian. They are supported by the Gay Christian Network, or Si A (which sanctns same-sex marriage and believ that homosexualy is jt one of many forms of diverse sexualy that the church should wele), and the Spirual Friendship ter muny, or Si B (which believ that homosexualy is not a morally culpable issue, although is a nsequence of the brokenns om the Fall; Si B teach agast homosexual sexual practice, but only for the sake of Christian tradn). E., there is such a thg as a gay person—that gayns scrib who someone sentially is), their theology no way allows for an unrstandg of why homosexualy, even at the level of sire, is sful and needg the grace of repentance.

To the Si B Christian, homosexualy is a sexualy—one of the years, we have seen many Si B Christians fect for Si A, clarg that God sanctns gay unns. This n be a very challengg issue for a Christian who experienc SSA, an issue that be exceedgly more challengg if one assum the social inty of “gay Christian.
“I ntributed a term to the gay male muny. Gay men are always fg themselv as top and bottom or verse for terurse. What about gay men who don’t engage terurse?
A third add: “Personally I’m not crazy about the term ‘si’ (sounds to me like someone lyg there, dog not much) but ’s good that Grdr acknowledg that there’s more to gay sex than anal. In this se the folks nclud that while was not a s to be gay was not biblil to have same sex sexual relatnships.
