Hello. I have been noticing that in the past few years, more and more people - including celebrities and musical artists and so on - are coming out as homosexuals....and this has caused society to be riled up and speak against it, pretty much putting down the people for their choice.
Now, let me say that there are two groups that could be against homosexuality : homophobic people (who just put down the people and their choice) and people like me who do have friends or speak to homosexuals and still do not like the lifestyle.
I AM NOT A HOMOPHOBE.
So many people think that just because I do not like the homosexual lifestyle, I hate gay people or despise them and that I am self-righteous...well I want to say how I feel about all this to perhaps enlighten you about my true thoughts.
I am a Christian, and as a Christian...as well as as a person...I believe that homosexuality is a sin and that no one is born gay. God made you what you are for a reason and it is a choice that is made with freewill to go with the same sex.
Just because homosexuality is a sin, however, I still have friends who are gay that I love dearly for their personalities and their feelings and thoughts about things; they are great friends. And I am not cutting a piece of them out...homosexuality is a lifestyle, but does not totally define a person.
"Love the sinner, not the sin."
That is one of the mottos that I live by...and I am proud of that motto.
It's not right to despise someone just because of a choice they make. I wouldn't be able to stand being around homophobes if they couldn't accept people and just judge them because of their lifestyles.
So now I hope you understand how I feel about all this; sorry if my thoughts might be scattered or a bit confusing. ^^; I really just wanted to get this journal entry written because I was feeling strongly about this stuff for awhile.
And I also pray to God that this does not offend anyone, because that was not my goal.
