This is not true of everyone with SSA. I myself never had to lie or deceive to remain private about my attraction to men. Of course, I was helped by the fact that (in modern parlance) I am bisexual.
I was talking about gay (and lesbian) people, bisexuals retain hetero privilege fairly easily and so have it much better than LG people (though tougher than straight people). If a bisexual guy gets asked which girls he thinks are attractive he can answer, but a gay guy has to pretend he is attracted to some women, say nothing (which gets treated with suspicion) or comment he isn’t attracted to women (which is treated as an admission of being gay).
While a bisexual guy might be have it tougher given that he is also attracted to guys, he has it substantialy easier than a gay man because by definition there are some women he is attracted to who he can try to date which removes suspicion, a gay guy on the other hand isn’t attracted to women so either he gets treated with suspicion or he fakes a relationship with a women.
Not true and typical to say the least.
According to statistics, homosexual men are much more promiscuous that heterosexual men, and this is why AIDS has spread so rapidly. In fact it is commonplace for homosexuals to discard the notion of physical fidelity. The fact is there is little love involved in homosexual sexual relationships but only a mutual decision by multiple adults to degrade their bodies and defile their minds.
Furthermore, if the fact that God abhors homosexual desires and sex so much proves there is no love in these relationships because God is the author of all love.
The mean number of male sexual partners MSM reported in the previous year fell significantly from 2.9 to 2.3 between the two surveys (p = 0.035) and was more marked in men under 24 years old (mean 2.9 to 2.1 partners, p = 0.027). The number of partners also fell in men aged 35 to 44 from 3.0 to 2.2, though this was not quite statistically significant (p = 0.07).
The fall in the number of partners was statistically significant in men with incomes under 150% of the US federal poverty level (3.0 to 2.1) and in men living in suburban metropolitan areas (3.2 to 2.1) but not in city-centre areas (2.6 in both surveys). There were declines in partner numbers in white (3.0 to 2.5) and black (2.4 to 1.9) men, though these did not reach statistical significance. In general though, there was a consistent picture of fewer partners among most groups.
(numbers are from the NSFG)
That’s not actually that promiscuous especially when you consider that that number is pushed up by a small minority who have a massive amount of sex. Note that the number of partners has actually dropped a fair bit which happens to come at a time when more states have been legalizing gay marriage (although of course correlation≠causation).
A man engaging in sex with another man is inherently sinful, but a man loving another man is not sinful per se.
No need to mince words.
Sam declared he was gay not as a confession. He **willingly **has decided to **mislead **millions of children that look up to him as a public figure and as such has done a great evil. I will pray that God forgives him and the gay lobby that has provoked him.
Finally, just because Sam or anyone is confused about their sexuality has little to do with the fact that God does not create people to have homosexual desires anymore than He creates them to have other disordered desires like pedophilia, etc.
True, football players are terrible role models.
God doesn’t make people blind, deaf or any other infirmity, he permits it to happen as crosses can make us stronger. Some people are weak and need light crosses, others are very strong and get extremely heavy crosses.
Sam came out of the closet in order to advance his own selfish goal of being drafted to the NFL. He knew that this “confession” would make him a cause célèbre and the NFL would not dare pass him over next year because there would be a huge backlash with people crying “homophobia” and “bigotry” and “haters” because they would not draft a homosexual man. So this works out perfectly for him. He gets slaps on the back from the mainstream media, even from Cardinal Dolan, and he gets his NFL draft just as he wants.
Plenty of people who went undrafted did well later on.
A pedophile is only a sinner if he acts on his sexual attraction to children. A person who recognizes the temptation and successfully overcomes the temptation to act on it is no more a sinner than a homosexual person who acknowledges his attraction but does not act on it.
And no more a sinner than a heterosexual who overcomes his temptation to engage in sex with a woman.
There is in fact nothing courageous about claiming a sin is good. Real courage is submitting to God for help and healing. This apparently is something most people with deep seated SSA have difficulty in doing. It should be of no surprise that the Bible then speaks that those with an arrogant heart can be given over to unnatural desires as punishment in order that they desire to do what they do not wish to do. **Worse still is when they embrace it **according to the Bible. Such is the case of people coming out of the “closet”.
God doesn’t seem that interested in making people’s crosses go away especially considering he tells people to take up their cross and follow him.
