What is homosexuality? I ponder over this question after having to be exposed to homosexuality on almost a daily basis — through magazines, news media, television, movies, etc. It’s almost everywhere you look anymore.

Being a Christian and a very open-minded person, I am trying to understand the answer to this question. First, I’d like to say that I have known or know a few people very well who are gay, but I have never been able to bring myself to ask them the reasons for being the way they are, or for living the lifestyles they do — without the thought of starting an argument, or maybe embarrassing them.

I have found these people to be very nice, really no different than anyone else, except for the fact that they are gay. ...

I personally don’t agree with homosexuality. I think it’s wrong and, according to the Bible, God never approved of it, either. ...

I guess what really gets me is — why are gay people wanting everyone else to accept that homosexuality is a natural thing, and it is OK to be this way? ... Homosexuality does not even fit into the law of nature.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate anyone. This is not a hate letter. I am just tired of being subjected almost daily to accepting this as normal and natural, when it is not. I feel that what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their bedrooms are their business, but that is where it should be kept. Don’t come out of the closet. ...

And remember this: When we all stand before God on the judgment day, we will give account for all that we have done in our lives.
