@JoeGayHistorian Like so many others I too have struggled my whole life with this. It has contributed to me not fully embracing the gay community. Which in turn has left me a bit lonely as I get older. I have a very strong faith and belief in God. It isn't easy for me to bring them both together

As a gay Christian I do believe that God made gay people, I’ve wrestled with Leviticus 18:22 & 20:13. My take: the text was written by ancient heterosexual men in a patriarchal culture (male heterosexual aversion to male homosexuality played a role), and it was deliberately separating Israel from pagan temple practices that included male shrine prostitution. Beyond that, the Holiness Code was about national survival in a high-mortality world—procreation mattered for covenant continuity. It upheld God’s creation order (male/female complementarity from Genesis 1–2), preserved honor-shame gender roles, and protected ritual purity so God’s presence could dwell among the people. Ancient authors didn’t have our modern concept of sexual orientation; they condemned specific male-male penetrative acts within Israel’s call to be visibly holy. Additionally, I see why male homosexuality can trend toward higher promiscuity: two men lack the “gatekeeper” dynamic straight men face with women. Data from CDC/NSFG studies back this—gay men report significantly more partners on average (often 2–6× higher lifetime medians). Scholars like Roy Baumeister (Sexual Economics Theory) explain it: male sex drives are higher and less selective without that counterbalance. Post-Stonewall culture and apps like Grindr amplified it, though many gay men form stable, monogamous bonds. This is why the David & Jonathan story resonates so deeply with us. Their soul-knitting love, covenant before God, loyal kisses and tears, and David’s line (“your love to me was more wonderful than that of women”) paint a beautiful picture of holy male commitment. It’s not explicitly sexual, but it models two men rejecting chaos and promiscuity, upholding covenant fidelity, and strengthening their nation—exactly the blessing I believe God honors. What draws me even more strongly to the Bible is Jesus Himself. He embraced, interacted with, and forgave sinners in ways that scandalized the Jewish leaders of His day. Jesus never once condemned homosexuality itself. It’s reasonable to assume that “gay” men of that era—already rejected by their society—would have flocked to His message of radical love and grace. I can picture them finding forgiveness and peace by casting aside promiscuity in exchange for a covenant relationship with another man rooted in faithful, holy love—just as the gospel calls all of us to transformation. Bottom line: Scripture legislates behavior for human flourishing in its ancient context. Orientation may be given, but we’re all called to faithfulness, self-control, and covenant love (Gal 5:22–23). David & Jonathan show that two men can love each other deeply, commit wholly, and be blessed. Jesus shows us how. Thoughtful faith means holding both the text and lived reality with honesty.

@overitall69 Yep. I scroll on streaming platforms and just pass right on by when its women leads because youre right, its all shit

It is an immediate turn off as soon as I hear a movie or show has a “strong female lead.” Translation: you’re about to watch contrived, man hating schlock. So tiresome.
