AUTHOR NOTE:
On my page, all sexualities are valid and loved. You are amazing. If you get a homophobic reaction from your family, friend, or anyone, just know that you are valid and supported by me. I am your support system. I myself identify as lesbian, and my preferred pronouns are she/they, and I know how scary it is coming out to your family, people outside your immediate family, and/or close friends. Luckily, I had and still have a loving and accepting support system, both from my friends and family however, sadly that is not the case for many LGBTQ people, especially children around the world. They are forced to go through church services, read bible verses, and some are even forced to go to conversion camps, which can leave them with religious trauma they are going to have for the rest of their lives.
Another thing that is a sad reality for many LGBTQ kids is their parents kick them out and disown them. When you become a parent, you have to love your kid unconditionally. You can't say "I'll love you if you're not gay." That's a condition. That is not unconditional love. Unconditional love is "I'll love and support you no matter who you love." That is unconditional love. That is what you have to practice and do as a parent. The bottom line is: If your child's sexuality is going to be an issue with you, don't have children.
Also, religion is not an excuse for discrimination. If you cant support it because it's against your religion, which is false by the way, that does not mean you can go around putting others down because they are not the same as you. Most of the text in the bible that's translated against LGBTQ people is actually being revisited due to it not supporting Matthew or Mark. Also, most Christians don't even follow old testament law for that reason: It does not support the new testament. And at the end of the day, someone else's sexuality and/or sexual identity is not your life, which does not make it your business. Not everyone is Christian.
The reason it's not a sin is because back then, the bible was mistranslated to say homosexual instead of pedophile, which means an adult sleeping with a minor or child. So back then, the same-sex relationships were not out of love, they were out of lust. They were not consensual, age-appropriate, loving relationships. It does not make sense to me why parents call their children slurs, kick them out of the house, or even send their children away to be "cured". Conversion therapy is a horrible practice that leaves many LGBT children traumatized. Your sexuality cannot change, and never will.
Please know you are valid, loved, supported, and amazing.
Kind regards:
