Amen to that, my FRiend! They’re despondent because they were told their whole lives that homosexuality is a sin and it’s morally wrong. So, like the pre-teen stealing a candy bar, they’re nervous, anxious, and eventually that candy bar is going to be consumed but likely not with any zeal since the moral implications of the theft will be heavy on the heart of the thief, or in the case of this analogy, the homo.
They’re despondent because they were told their whole lives that homosexuality is a sin and it’s morally wrong.
There must be some misunderstanding, as you wholeheartedly agree with me yet misstate my point. It is not that they have been “TOLD” that it is wrong, nor is it because it is not fully societally acceptable that they are depressed and despondent.
They feel guilty and despondent because their conscience is wired to KNOW that it is wrong, but their lustful self-centeredness tempts them to do the wrong thing anyway (as all of us do).
Rom 2:14-15
14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them
Blaming society for their choices will not help them nor society.
