ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

Q: Wait, "Gay Christian Network"??? Isn't "gay Christian" an oxymoron?

A: Not at all. "Gay Christian" refers to any Christian who is attracted to the same sex. Some gay Christians are in or seeking gay relationships ("Side A") while others believe the Bible calls them to celibacy ("Side B"). Our organization supports all gay Christians, regardless of side.

thank you for this, Michael. It's people like you that is skeptical about certain passages or even the whole bible as a whole that prevents young people from taking their lives. I've seen almost all your videos and they have brought my spirit up. I know you said to email you but if you get this first, I would like to know if you could elaborate on what is mentioned in Romans about men leaving God and turning amongst each other with lust and that even their women did so as well. Thank you

[GayChristianNetwork]

@TheSilverphoenix88 Well thanks, but that bald guy in the video is Justin Lee. I just monitor the YouTube channel. If you'd like to know more about Romans, I highly (highly!) recommend reading "The Great Debate" on the GCN website.

this is rediculous. You CANNOT be a practicing homosexual and a Christian, I'm sorry. You can have gay feelings, but if you are acting on them without repentance, your not a Christian, period.

@MissDtheoneandonly This video did not mention being a practicing homosexual.

I've been struggling for a long time as a bisexual. Some people around me were already beginning to insult me for who I am, even the ones I'm close with. I don't understand what's the big deal with being a bisexual. I'm like being forced to become straight, which is really impossible for me to do. I really am disappointed. I can't live a normal life.

God makes people gay.

@DcccChannel Androgens. It has to do more with their levels rather than their mere presence, and this only applies to male homosexuality since female sexuality functions much differently and has not been investigated as much.

I actually had to do a research paper over the ram study you cited

[Jupiter2261996]

What about Bisexual people though?!?!?

[Kershin221]

Well this was very helpful. Firstly let me just say I couldnt stop laying every time the magnifying glass came out. I'll be showing this to my parents. But I was just wondering how exactly did you know that the animals rams\rats (not sure which you said) were indeed homosexual. I am aware that homosexuality does intact exist in nature. But I was just wondering.

[DcccChannel]

what is the name of this hormone if you dont mind my asking?

@HelenaHiccups i agree 2 being gay and being str8 is somthing people naturally do its not done over the influence of their own desicion i am a christian and i think theirs nothing wrong with being gay god wants evryone to accept each other for the way he created them and i belive that gay people are in heaven as well as str8 people

[LasLatinidades]
