Why I Changed My Mind On Homosexuality

I know I share a lot of videos, but this one is very special. My mom came across this sermon by this pastor who changed his view on homosexuality. It’s definitely something I think everyone should listen to.

I have a lot of thoughts on it, but I am more interested in hearing what other people think after listening to this sermon. After listening to Danny Cortez and getting some context, I would like you to read some very good books that I recommend on this subject.

God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships

You may wonder why this topic is so important to me and criticize me for even sharing this post. That’s okay, I am used to it. However, this topic is important to me for two main reasons: First, because it saves lives of gay people, especially those who grew up in church hearing a message that God hates them. Second, I personally feel that this is a missed element especially when Christians and Atheists debate the existence of God.

One of the many criticisms of Christianity by the secular world comes because of the anti-gay preaching done by Christian groups, including many Pro-Life groups. I understand that the Bible appears to condemn Homosexuality. That is why I wrote this post including these videos and book links so that gay Christians can also resolve this issue with their own faith. This is a struggle that is unique to people raised Christian who then discover they are gay.

It is for these reasons that I also joined the Rainbow Pro-Life Alliance. I specifically wanted to know that if I do choose to give my time or money to a Pro-Life organization, they won’t be trying to save the lives of babies with one hand only to be stoning them to death with the other hand once they are adults and are discovered to be gay.

In conclusion, I would like to share the lyrics of one of my favorite songs: “I Was Born This Way” by Carl Bean.

I’m walking through life in nature’s disguise
You laugh at me and you criticize’cause I’m happy, carefree and gay – Yes, I’m gay
It ain’t a fault it’s a fact
I was born this way Now I won’t judge you
Don’t you judge me
We’re all the way nature meant us to be Chorus
I’m happy – I’m carefree – I’m gay
I was born this way
I’m happy – I’m carefree and I’m gay
I was born this way
I’m happy – I’m carefree – I’m gay
I was born this way
I’m happy – I’m carefree and I’m gay You’re Calling Me Strange’cause You Don’t Understand
God’s Role For Me In Life’s Overall Plan
I’ve Learned To Hold My Head Up High
Not In Scorn Nor Disgrace
Doin’ My Thing So Individually
Entwined With This Human Race Now I Won’t Judge You
Don’t You Judge Me
We’re All The Way Nature Meant Us To Be Chorus
I’m happy – I’m carefree – I’m gay
I was born this way
I’m happy – I’m carefree and I’m gay
I was born this way
I’m happy – I’m carefree – I’m gay
I was born this way
I’m happy – I’m carefree and I’m gay You Laugh at me
And you got the nerve to criticize
If I were you – I’d sit down
And consider what you’re doing
Love me like I love you
I was born this way
