so, I met this dude named J...., the other night in the bathroom at a local piano bar that me and my friends go to occasionaly. I was using the urinal and he almost peed on my because he didnt see me as he was drunk. He then struck up a 20 minute convrsation about how he was gay and he doesn't want to be, he has tried everything to not be gay...but he has given up' he just is not attracted to girls. He said he grew up mormon, he still claimed to be mormon even though he was gay. I asked him if I could share my view on homosexuality after I told him that I was a christian and he said yes. I told him that I see it as anything we are faced with: depression, anxiety, lack of self worth as obsticles that we have the option of over coming or not. We all have issues and problems and we either have the choice to accept them as a part of ourselves or not. I wanted to share more and help him understand that Jesus loves him no matter what; but he asked me whether I thought being gay was right or wrong and I had to tell him it was wrong. And he said that was his main reason for not liking the christian church...It is hard for me to tell people that I think they are wrong, I love people and would hate to sound at all judgemental. His friend texted him to go back because she was alone so he left and went to sit down and me and my friends left. We went to another bar next door but felt compelled to ask him if he wanted to come to church with me so I walked back over to that bar. I assured him that our church would accept him and love him but he passed. Then his friend basically kicked me out of their table..." I'm not going to have any of that bible talk"..is what she said..It sucked because I feel like he thinks I judged him, but I just wanted to show him love, true love, Christ's love. I pray that God will work on his heart and that He will come to know true love.
