Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender. Those words alone can start up such a huge debate. Some side with them; others against them. All of this just because of a way life different from the status quot. Many say they will go to Hell because they are "sinning". I don't believe that because God is very amazing and will not damn someone just because they love the same gender. That is not how He works. When we die finally, you will be in a sort of limbo. God will be before you and he will ask you a simple question. "Do you love me?" And you answer the question. Yes or no? Now, I don't know of a person that would turn down God when they have the depths of Hell staring them in the face. I know I would say yes immediately. With such a huge consequence out of a question, I wouldn't take my chances. He does this with everyone, no matter who they prefer. He even did this with the worst of men such as Hitler. If homosexuals are sinning, in fact, they would just have to spend time in Purgatory. I know that when I die I might have to spend some time cleansing my sins, but I know that in the end Heaven is waiting for me. I want to open the eyes of the blind to the new. It is the 21st century and times are changing. Society is evolving and some just need to catch up. I hope this has impacted someone or helped someone with the same dilemma. I am Catholic and have noticed the majority of my Protestant friends are against the idea of homosexuality. I want others to stop being afraid and prejudice to different people. This is one of the major problems today with Society. I hope this has helped you be more open to change, reader. That whatever obstacle in the way is pushed away. Please share this with someone who you know is against the idea of homosexuality or is in fact a homosexual. I don’t want anyone feeling like they don’t have a place anywhere, on earth or in the afterlife. 


The author's comments:

Ever since my not-anymore-friend brought this up, I have been pondering this over. Are homosexuals damned forever or will they be delivered? I believe that Yes in fact they will be delivered. It doesn't matter what gender attracts you. I hope this will change someone and help others.

Wait - if you're Catholic, how can you say homosexuality is alright? The Catholic Church teaches love and respect for all people, but it also clearly states that homosexual activity is gravely wrong. It's true that sometimes society changes - things like women in the workplace, for example. But homosexuality is one of those areas where the Church cannot compromise, because to compromise here would be to compromise Jesus' teachings.

Reading this I could tell you were catholic before you stated it. I am southern Baptist, so we believe things a little differently. But, I do believe God has the power to forgive sinners (Gays, in this article) if they ask forgiveness.
