Homosexuality is a sin

Pride Month begins in one week.

How do atheists find comfort and strength in life without believing in God?

On the left is David Reimer, and on the right is Brenda Reimer. They are the same person. As a child, he was the victim of a botched circumcision, and on the advice of a doctor, his family decided to have him castrated and raised as a girl. For years, doctors presented the case as proof that a child’s gender identity could be shaped by upbringing. But he never felt like a girl. He rejected dresses, hated being treated that way, and struggled deeply with the identity forced on him. At 14, his parents finally told him the truth. A year later, he chose to live as a boy again and took the name David. He later married and became a stepfather, but the trauma followed him for the rest of his life. In 2004, David Reimer died by suicide at 38.

Here is an important note from this article that some people are likely to zoom past. The botched circumcision was apparently a main driver in the parents' decision to change the boy's gender identity. The boy died by suicide later in life. The botched circumcision appears to have been the root cause of it all.
