I’m in the process of questioning and learning on this subject as well. I encounter students who are gay in my work as a musician on the local college campuses in my area, and am continuing to find my way in being Christ to them even as I am unsure of where I “stand” on the issue of homosexuality. I do know that God loves all of His creations and that it is my job to share the good news of Christ to them. It is His job to draw them to Himself and if He desires change in their lives, to effect that change as they seek Him and allow the Holy Spirit to do His work. Thanks again for putting a voice to your thoughts.

Blessings to you and those you hold dear. May peace and all good be yours as you embrace the wonders of our Easter joy.
