Clarifications

Some days back, one of my juniors asked me if I thought being gay was ok. Although I wonder why he would ask me such a question since he isn't gay and neither am I, it did bring to mind some issues that homophobes really should bear in mind.

First off, screw the whole nature vs nurture crap. This is the damn modern world, different things are viewed in different context. People who avoid homosexuals like the plague just 'cause "the Bible says it's evil!" are just plain dumb. Guess what? Here's some enlightenment for fools such as them.

There are 2 different types of sexuality as a whole: healthy and unhealthy. This is irregardless of whether the person is homo or heterosexual. For some reason, people always tend to associate homosexuality with the latter, assuming that gays and lesbians are just a bunch of people who just randomly go out and screw everyone the same sex as them. Sadly for these blind fools, this is not the case. Back in SJI, Brother Jason once provided an example of a healthy homosexual. One of the Lasallian Brothers confessed on his deathbed to being attracted to men. But he didn't go all out to screw every man in sight, he just accepted himself for who he was and that was it.

So wooo you're a heterosexual eh? Sad news dude, that's not a golden passport to heaven. If you just so happen to be some cocksure (pun intended) unhealthy hetero who screws every person of the opposite sex in sight, guess what? You're screwed!

That said, people always think that the good Christian is supposed to be this holy, prayerful fella. Truth is, no matter how prayerful you are, no matter how many chapters of the Bible you read everyday, if you still harbour any prejudices against anyone, homosexuals included, you aren't that good a Christian anymore. 'Cause guess what? A real good Christian accepts, and loves, people for who they are.
