Before I get started, I would like you all to know this isn’t about judgement, it is only my perspective about homosexuality and gay marriage. With that being said here I go. It is not my place to judge others for the choices they make, nor is it my place to condemn those who think differently than I do. It is not my place to force my own personal views on anyone. It is my place to show respect to others for who they are based on their character as a person, and nothing more.

This is my perspective of the word homosexual, it refers to a person who decides to have a sexual relationship with a person of the same sex. This does not define the character of a person, it defines their sexual preference. Two men or two women living together doesn’t constitute homosexuality, we call that being roommates.

My perspective on transvestites and transgender, a transvestite is a person who makes the choice to live as the opposite sex, and usually has homosexual encounters. Transgenderism refers to people who make the choice to become the opposite sex, and again usually has homosexual encounters.

Remember this is just my perspective, my truth and no one else’s. This is my issue with all of this. I don’t concern myself with the sexual preference that a person chooses, I am more concerned with the content of their character. But I do have an issue with a person trying to force their choices down my throat. What happens in your bedroom is the business of the people who share your bedroom, and not mine. When you try to make me alright with a lifestyle I don’t particularly care for, I have an issue with that.

When you say I was born a man, but I’m a woman on the inside or I was born a woman, but I’m a man on the inside, that’s not necessarily correct.

So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep, and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. ²² Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

²³ The man said, “This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”

²⁴ That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Genesis 2: 18-24

Remember, these are God’s words, not mine.  So if God’s word is true, and it is, then the feminine part of man was removed from him. Remember this is only my perspective, I can’t say what makes a person make the choices they do because that would be between them and God.

I also hear the statement, “you can’t help who you fall in love with,” and I agree with that, but God doesn’t tell us who we should or shouldn’t fall in love with, but He does say:

²²You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. ²³And you shall not lie with any animal and so make yourself unclean with it, neither shall any woman give herself to an animal to lie with it: it is a perversion. Leviticus 18:22-23

As you can see in the scripture above, God doesn’t condemn anyone for loving someone, His only concern is who and what we have sex with. Again this is not to be judgmental, only my perspective of things.

Last but not least, gay marriage. Again I say people can love whomever they choose, and I’m alright with them having some type of union joining them together, but the word of God says:

²⁴ That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Genesis 2:24

What makes this difficult in a gay marriage is, if you have two men joined in marriage there can be no joining of the flesh because they are missing the same part, and with two women the ribs can’t be joined together. Even though Adam and Eve weren’t perfect, they were a perfect fit for each other. Even in a relationship between a man and woman, you still might not find the perfect fit, so you can imagine how difficult it must be for homosexuals.

I am not against people who are in love with each other, but just like I don’t want to be forced to see or hear about a husband and wife’s escapades concerning their sex life, or a pedophile describing his sexual thoughts concerning a child, I don’t want to be forced to be alright with men sleeping with men, or women sleeping with women. What you decide to do in your bedroom is your choice, and I respect that choice. All I’m asking is that you respect my choice not to be alright with it. That doesn’t mean I can’t be your friend, family member, or coworker, I just want to know do you have Great Character, Integrity, Honesty, Truthfulness, Love and Respect for the next person.

In closing all I want to say is, I will Respect who you are and your choice, but please Respect who I am and my choices as well!
