Book: God, Why Was I Born Gay?

No I have not changed my sexual orientation, just ask my wife! The title came from an actual question from a gay man named Robbie. The real question is Did God create some to be gay, some to be bisexual, some to be lesbians, and some to be transgendered? God does give an answer.

Six conversations not only changed the way six men viewed homosexuality, but also how they viewed God. Derrick and Beau believed they were born gay, although Derrick could not explain why. Dr. Braxton, an affiliate of the American Psychological Association, discussed with me not only the biological implications of homosexuality but also Division 44's mission: further the understanding of homosexuality. Eric combated his homosexuality until he eventually accepted who he was. Matt, a church elder, sought counseling from a psychiatrist wanting to understand his sexuality. Matt's family did not know he was gay. To a degree, Matt did not know he was gay
either.

So what does God say about homosexuality? Did God create some to be gay, some to be bisexual, some to be lesbians, and some to be transgendered? Through His own Word, God gives us the answer, which is the scope of this book. The question is now, are both sides of the sexual orientation debate prepared to put aside their presuppositions. God does answer the long debated nature verses nurture argument. God not only solves the debate; God also simplifies it.

I am sincerely excited about how my latest endeavor is shaping. A few responses from iconic organizations, such as the National psychology Club, Campus Ministries, the Health Care Administration, and Writers United have given me a ninth wind-as a result of responses like "Your work does not fit our editorial agenda." As I now wade through the mediocre publishing contracts in pursuit of the perfect fit, I am considering self-publishing. Then again, who wants to drop a tax refund on a good self-publishing package? All I hear is watch and wait, that fit will present itself soon enough.

Some people choose to be gay. Some people through social circumstances end up gay and some people are just born that way. I.E God created them. That is why Homosexuality is not a sin as God created them. This is why Jesus said some people are born eunuchs i.e. born gay in Matthew 19.
