I treat LGBTQIA individuals with respect and kindness because above all they are human beings they laugh, they care, and they have emotions and dreams just like anyone else. I actually have gay friends and to be honest they're great people to be with fun, honest, and loyal. I don't see any problem with being friends with them. However, respect doesn't mean I need to agree with everything they do. I can still care for them as people while standing firm in my beliefs. For me, true respect means treating others with dignity without abandoning my moral and spiritual convictions.
I believe true education begins with humility the willingness to listen before forming conclusions. I don't need to agree with everything about the LGBTQIA community, but I believe I should at least understand their stories and what shaped their choices. We cannot speak about people we refuse to understand. Learning about their journey doesn't require me to abandon my faith it simply teaches me to speak with wisdom instead of ignorance. I can respect someone's humanity without adopting their beliefs as my own. Understanding is not equal to approval, and disagreement is not hatred. I can stand firm in my convictions while still treating others with sincerity and compassion. Holding onto my faith doesn't mean closing my mind it means seeing people through the eyes of both truth and grace.
For me, No. Marriage, in its truest and original form is a sacred covenant between a man and a woman established by God and rooted in nature. It's not only about love, but also about life the ability to build a family and bring new life into the world. Allowing same sex marriage changes the very essence and purpose of marriage. I'm not saying same-sex couples don't love each other, but love alone doesn't redefine a divine and natural design. For me, marriage should remain what it was meant to be a union that reflects the balance and beauty between man and woman.
For me, experiencing same-sex attraction doesn't define a person's worth or character. Everyone carries their own battles, and some struggles are simply more visible than others. What truly matters is how we choose to respond to the challenges within us. We all face desires and emotions that can lead us away from what is right, but part of growing in faith is learning to rise above what feels good in the moment and choosing what leads us toward truth and purpose.
When it comes to changing one's gender, I believe it's more than just a personal decision it's a deep emotional conflict that deserves compassion, not judgment. But personally, I believe real peace is found not in transforming the body, but in healing the heart. Instead of reshaping ourselves on the outside, I believe we are called to discover strength and identity in who God already created us to be. True freedom is not doing everything we feel but learning to live with honesty, courage, and self-control.
