It's sad to grow up gay in the LC. It's not a choice. And rejection drives them to suicide.
Is the local church bemoaning that? Of course not. There's 6 verses out of 35,000 against it, and the LC is holding to those 6 verses.
So their concern about suicide rings hollow to me. To me they've gone Bible crazy.

As a lesbian sister and church kid, I can honestly say that yes, the LC drove me to attempt suicide in 2012-2013. I’m glad I did not go through with it. The LC didnt care. Now I’m happily married to the love of my life and despite what LC has ingrained in me that I would be doomed for the rest of my life, the opposite has happened. God has blessed me in every way possible. I can say the same for some church kids I have talked to. Tbh, my favorite story in the bible is that of Joseph. He was rejected by his bretheren and yet, God led him to a place he never knew he would be at. I really relate to his story and life.
