LGBTQ, in LC and Beyond.

I skimmed the thread thus far but decided not to engage in the bickering.

Instead, I want to say I love Jesus. I'm a follower of Christ and the Great Divine. I'm also unapologetically Bi. I don't believe it is a sin. I believe the Bible has been mistranslated and misinterpretted making people assume that it is a sin.

My attraction to women has always been there, but part of me assumed all women felt that way (that women are attractive). Also, with homosexuality being judged culturally as I was growing up, I did my best to ignore those feelings.

It was the view of homosexuality within the church vs the *reality* of love shared between homosexuals, and compared to the verse "you will know them by their fruit" ultimately made me re-examine everything.

Is the fruit good that leads people to commit suicide after being kicked out and cut-off from their family because they love someone they "shouldn't"?

Is the fruit good that causes people to attack and kill homosexuals?

Or is the fruit good when you celebrate genuine love between two consenting adults who are enriched and built up by each other? Who can raise beautiful and well-adjusted children?

I prayed to God to reveal to me who He wanted me to be- who He designed me to be. I have kept my eyes on my God and He has led my down beautiful paths. I have accepted who I am, all of me, and I am much happier for it all. <3
