A Different Look On Homosexuality
Ok this week we have a pretty hot topic to discuss. But through my research I was able to find an alternate understanding on the topic of homosexuality, I hope you can too.
I want to focus a lot on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJhyzqdzpnM "Understanding Same Sex Attraction." This video looks at homosexuality in a different light. I learned so many new things from watching it. But just a quick run through of what the video is about. PS the video is all about males. The video starts out talking about how there is no evidence that states there are biological evidence in early same-sex attraction. But there are many contributing factors that play a role in changing the sexual identity of individuals. Some of those factors are (these are backed up with research) bullying from the same gender, disconnections from the father, inappropriate touch, etc. A couple men are interviewed, and they explain different situations that have happened to them before, during, and after they identified as gay. It was interesting to see that they all had relatively same experiences throughout their lives. These males that were interviewed all did not want to be gay. They went through change therapy, and a therapist was able to help them through this time. Now these males chose not to have those attractions, and they chose to go through therapy. At the end of the video *SPOILER ALERT* these males all share how they have stopped having feelings for men. They have now experiences feelings for women, people of the opposite sex.
It was interesting for me to see all that these men went through during their lives. Some of them were very depressed and lonely. They were lost before they went through therapy. One male described that even after therapy he sometimes gets sad (we all do because we are all human). But then he said he would never be as sad or depressed as he was a couple years before. He had hard times, but now feels happier than ever. Another interesting thing is one man explained that when he had feelings for a girl (after therapy) he said, "it felt great. It felt like this is how it's meant to be." That jumped out to me because it IS meant to be like that. God created man and women to love each other. It was interesting that this man noticed that. He had seen both roads, the one with men, and another with women. And he was able to tell which one was right. This right road just so happened to be the road that God came up with in the beginning.
On a spiritual note, I know God created man and women to multiply and replenish the earth. Family is essential to God's plan. He wants us all to experience joy in this life. And that happiness is available to everyone! With the video mentioned above, we learn that people who do not want to have homosexual behavior there is a way out. But this doesn't mean that it is for everyone. Some people won't be able to lose those feelings. Others don't want to change, and that is fine! We all have our agency and we can choose how we live. But I hope some of this research makes sense, and opens our eyes that there is more to it than what we see on the news. I also don't want you to think that I hate individuals that identify as gay. I do not. I love them the way God loves them. God loves us all the same- equally.
