Status Updates From What the Bible Really Says ...

When we step back and look at all these passages together, a clear pattern emerges:
The Bible condemns rape, exploitation, idolatry, domination, and sexual abuse.
The Bible never addresses sexual orientation as a personal identity.
The Bible never discusses loving, mutual, same-gender relationships in anything remotely like the way we talk about LGBTQ+ people today.

I'm not trying to convert anyone here. But just in case you are concerned about what the Bible says, and about whether or not there is a God who loves you, I needed to write this letter. I need you to hear that you are loved and you are worthy of love just as you are."

"I understand that you may not be religious, and you may not give a fig about what the Bible says. I understand that you might not be religious precisely because people have used their religion to attack you. That's okay.
