I heard on TV (I don’t remember what it was) an interview
with a man who identified himself as gay. He was asked when he knew he was gay.
He explained that through his teenage years that he was not attracted to girls.
Not once did he say he was attracted to boys, only that he wasn’t attracted to
girls which meant he must be gay. Society is so quick to label and put into
groups. I am sure his lack of attraction to the opposite sex pushed him to a
group that accepted that and they happened to gay. If you aren’t attracted to
the opposite sex you must be attracted your own, right? Some people are supposed
to be alone. I Corinthians 7:8 (NLT) “So I say to those who aren’t married and
to widows—it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am”. I think we are so quick
to label that we do some people an injustice. The man in the interview didn’t
say he was born that way, he just said that because he wasn’t attracted to
girls growing up he must be gay and CHOSE to pursue that. I talked to another
young lady and asked her how she knew she was a lesbian and she said it was
because of the people she was friends with it became an obvious choice. Not
once in the conversation did she mention attraction, it was more by default
that she ended up there. We need to be careful how we judge people and keep
mind that things aren’t always as they appear. In the news lately we have heard
about transgender, transracial, etc. I am not going to pass judgement on how
anyone feels but we should not tell our children that any feeling they have is
OK and they should follow those feelings. We should be telling them that they
were fearfully and wonderfully made and they should be an individual. It is NOT
OK to tell our sons that they are girls and our white children they are black.
We should not tell them they passed a test that they failed or won a game that
they lost. It becomes an issue of truth and integrity and this is what we have
lost and every generation will suffer until we stop the madness. Next time one
of our children tells us they are not really interested in the opposite sex we
need to tell them it is OK and enjoy life being who they are, after all isn’t
that what life is all about…be yourself, not what the agenda of a group wants
you to be.
