Homosexuality is wrong true, but gays are mentally retarded or anything. People don't choose to be gay that is, they don't sit in front of a list of sexual preferences and say, oh okay I think I'll be gay! But don't get me wrong Im not saying they are born gay because that is certainly not the case. But somewhere along the lines, often in their childhood or pre-adolescence, there psycho-sexual development has been disturbed and there need for love, affection and male bonding from their father has not been met or has been poorly met. Homosexuality is extremely complex, and is not as cut and dry as so many christian make it out to be. As for how I could even be gay, Ive often asked the samething, but realise now that I had an abnormal psycho-sexual development. My dad was never home and when he was, he didn't know how to express his love and show affection. I know now, that he loved me the best he could, but at the time I perceived my dads lack of attention and intamacy as meaning that he didn't love me. So as time went by, I become overly attached to my mother and sought the emotional bonding that I needed from my father, through her. And as I grew I tended to avoid male friendships, through a fear of being rejected by other men/boys as I perceived my dad to have reject me. I was later abused as a teen and things went down hill from there. As christians we shouldn't go out and condemn gays or hate them, Jesus never rejected anyone regardless of their sin and nor should we. Rather we ought to lead them to healing through the cross, only God can heal them and change their ways. Only he can meet their unmet needs and only he can offer them salvation.
