What do you think gay Christians should do with their lives in order to live in compliance with the Christian faith?
Should they seek to change their sexual attractions?
Should they choose to remain celibate for the rest of their lives?
Should they marry a person of the opposite sex?
Should they seek a long term relationship or marriage with someone of the same sex?
Should they seek to change their religious affiliation or scriptural interpretation to one that accepts their sexual orientation?
I'm not Christian, but as a gay individual I often hear people proclaiming that homosexual behavior is "living in sin". I notice they don't exactly articulate what the alternative should be or even advocate the benefits of an alternative. That is part of the problem I often have with those individuals. They can yell, "I don't agree with the way you live," but they don't offer any friendly suggestions as to how people should live their lives if they have same sex attractions. In my opinion it kind of says a lot about their true intentions and how little they actually care about people with same sex attractions. They are only interested in condemning the behavior and not helping them find a way to live a wholesome and happy life in accordance with their faith.
