My first experience with Gays and Lesbians was when I was working at Stake n' Shake as a 16 year old curb-boy. Some of the CBs wouldn't wait on them but I did. They were funny and always having a good time and joking with me. I didn't feel threatened and I treated them with respect. They're also good tippers. The Lesbians I waited on were generally cool except one who was a bit forceful because her girlfriend was sorta flirting with me. I didn't flirt back so everything was cool down. I had one unwanted phone call where I had to explain I had a girlfriend and wasn't interested, but I have no idea who that was that called. He was definitely older.
If a church congregation wants to allow homosexual marriage and the government supports it, there's nothing much I can do but find a new church. Whether Gays and Lesbians are born that way I cannot say. But the Gospel is for them too so maybe, just maybe they will change. It really depends on whether they want to obey God, or the lusts in their hearts. Sin is sin and their sin is no worse than any other. God can turn a life around if you truly want it and want to please Him. I know God is just. The Bible seems fairly clear if you believe it. I believe it but will show all respect even if I disagree with their life choices.
I doubt this would be your last thread on this subject. I bursted out some raw truths about homosexually and how it compares to our own sins. I became an unwanted TOL visitor for a few days for exposing what God said about our sins. Pastors and others who indulge deep in adultery, fornications, unfaithfulness loaded with lies and jealously made thier sins as small as a grain of sand while they make two ladies in front of my pew who kiss and hug each other, sins the size of a huge rock we can't lift.
Many award winning movies has been shown about the slavery we had not long ago. Watching these, based on true story, movies had sadden my heart very deeply. I'm still in hurt all those stories were true. We forget that it was common for weathy Romans to have slaves just like America had and the slave owners were able to treat them any way they pleased including having sex with male or female and legally murdering them any way they liked. The Apostles were describing what Roman slave masters doing to there slaves reguarding to homosexuality. It was so bad that the apostles had strong opinions about it and made statements. While we're all proud of the braveness of Martian Luther King and those that died for our freedom, the slavery days are over and those types of homosexuality no longer exists.
Now before you guys complain about my raw truthful posts, think about your own sins and then go from there. Then you can be the first without sin to throw a stone you can pick up. Go ahead an aim it at me again.
