America is known as the melting pot, the land of great diversity and many colors. For years, even centuries the topic of homosexuality has been a controversial issue. In my opinion, people are entitled to their own preferences. You shouldn’t be judged because of your sexuality because judging others is wrong, we are all human, and we should love and accept each other as we are.
Many refer to the Bible when the topic of homosexuality is brought up. The Bible says, "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." (Leviticus 18:22) Homosexuality goes against the created order of God, but that gives you no reason to judge that person for being that way. The Bible also says, "For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you" (Matthew 7:2) Do not judge others in a way that you would not want to be judged yourself. We may not all be perfect, but we are all human.
Man wasn’t built to be perfect or to obtain complete perfection. There are several bumps (imperfections) in the road every now and then. They give us our identity, our own story. Each story is different in the way that it is written and presented. Though we are different, we still have a heart, and we still have the ability to love and to feel.
The feelings of those who are different than others often get hurt. We are God’s children, and we should all love one another. We don’t have to condone homosexuality, but we can still support our friends and treat them no differently because of that. I, myself, have been confessed to several times by my friends who are bisexual or homosexual. I still love them and hang out with them because they are my friends. What they are shouldn’t change the way I feel about them.
So you say the place of great diversity isn’t so perfect, eh? You’re right. Maybe it’s time to start working together as a family. Instead of pushing people away, embrace them. Listen to what they have to say, know where they’re coming from. Who knows…your friend might come to you for your help and support.
Well...it's about time to wrap this week's blog up.
So until next time...Catch ya later.
