I spent many years in a non-denominational Christian church growing up. If there was anyone on the planet who would have chosen NOT to be gay it would have been me. I prayed for years that God would change me into a happy, healthy, heterosexual man. After years of this prayer it gradually dawned on me that a more honest and effective prayer would be to ask God to help me understand myself better. This prayer had not only a much more healing effect, it brought me into a much closer relationship with God.
I know that I am gay. I know God loves and accepts me no less than if I were a heterosexual man. My partner and I have been together for 15 years. We love one another profoundly.
My thought is that fundamentalist Christians are very disturbed by the thought that God would create a gay person, and then put verses in the Bible that say one should not be gay. So, therefore, they have to believe that God would never make someone gay, in order for it all to fit.
Am I right?
