We've had a sick feeling in our stomachs that some kind of sinister 'force' had to be behind ...getting the American society to hate itself with rage and guilt.
With apologies to @Quix and @kevindavis I even thought for a minute that freaking humanoids told the UN Security Council that the correct POV when it came to homosexuality was... "There, but for the Grace of God....." and that we had better learn to accept them and their lifestyle...or else!
I take into consideration, the dramatic music and wonderfully convincing narrator...calculate where the truth probably is, as I watched that video.
Everybody should watch it. From middle-school to university. ESPECIALLY universities.
Have been watching many more gay movies than I care to count (the minority worth watching in any significant respect whatsoever) for a kind of immersive, overview project for some months.
It is a very complex problem that I do not think the Church has been entirely Biblical or honorable about.
Nevertheless, it is also a huge agenda from hell to destroy individuals and the culture, imho.
Loving the individual and not the sin is a challenge for most Christians regarding a long list of sins from gluttony and other addictions (including workaholism) to homosexuality.
I think kindness and empathy are huge priorities.
Perhaps even important is
HUMILITY . . . which you touch on with your phrase "There but for the Grace of God, go I."
It is clear to this psychologist that there IS SOME degree of hormonal etiology--whether it is 10% or 20% (the most likely by some expert calculations) or 25% or more. imho, the largest percent of the etiology lies in the first 6 years of life--particularly in terms of the degree--more to the point--the LACK of any significant degree of emotional, affectionate BONDING with a healthy father.
How many truly healthy fathers do you know?
How many truly bonded with their children--particularly their sons?
It's a horrific epidemic of ATTACHMENT DISORDER. And, imho, homosexuality is but one devastatingly serious consequence.

In terms of the critters--
CERTAINLY they have been using the globalist oligarchy as stooges to overthrow the Biblical constructions on reality for millennia. And increasingly so the last few decades. And the last 5 years or so, the full court press toward such goals has almost pulled out all the stops or speed limitations.[/b]
ONE of the major tools in their efforts toward such goals has certainly been to massively increase the approval of and increases of homosexuality as a "viable" more or less equal OPTION for individuals and couples.
imho, after scanning (watching 5-15 min of) hundreds of such movies (and watching mostly all of maybe 1% of them), I'm increasingly convinced that few of them are remotely honorably loving of one another.
Most are seriously co-dependent--as probably are most heterosexual couplings.
And, usually, one of the partners is more or less a servant, slave, tool in behalf of the selfish dysfunctions of the other partner--as, again, is far too often true in a majority of the heterosexual couplings.
The propagandized claims by the gay lobby that their "love" is just as genuine, constructive etc. as that of heterosexual couples is not that significant a claim, to me. For one, that's not saying much given the horrible state of heterosexual marriages after decades of a targeted set of destructive forces lobbed against such marriages by the oligarchy and their media stooges.
Nevertheless, shockingly, it appears to me that an extremely tiny percentage of such couplings in the gay population ARE more selfless, caring, kind, honorable, loving, etc. than are MOST heterosexual couples--even those in the Church.
That was a shocking observation, to me. But I cannot deny the evidence.
I realize that Beth Moore teaches that it is IMPOSSIBLE for gay couples to truly love one another in any significant degree of meaning of the word "love" in any conventional positive sense. I think she's mostly right but not 100% accurate.
And, I think she may glibly pass over the fact that such a huge percentage (far more than 55%, imho) of heterosexual couples are also not measuring up to any solid and meaningful definition of more or less strictly selflessly loving.
Therefore what, I don't know.
Does the Biblical note that "Love covers a multitude of sins" also apply in such gay relationships? I don't know. Sure seems like a huge eternal risk, to me.
I'm convinced that a LOT of the tongue clucking derisiveness on the part of unwarrantedly critical judgemental-ism is highly likely AS offensive to God as is a lot of the gay activities of those of that orientation.
ALL of us are fallen critters muddling along more-or-less as best we can--at least for those who earnestly seek to walk with God and live by His priorities.NONE of us have a lofty enough perch from which to hold our noses in the air a la OThuga/Obummer and point long pointy fingers with judgemental hostility toward gays or anyone else.
Yes, there are solid Biblical reasons to exhort individuals against violating God's priorities in terms of sexual relations and a long list of other activities.
ON THE WHOLE, however, imho, all of us need to work on the bloke in the mirror long before--and far more than is common--we drag out our pointy finger.
Exhortations about God's priorities MUST come out of a perspective and deeply heart-felt conviction of compassion and mercy--BECAUSE we ALL DESPERATELY NEED God's mercy in our own lives for a list of reasons.Choices have consequences.
Actions have consequences.
The lobby headquartered in hell propagandizes that all choices are equal . . . that there is no absolute truth and no absolute right or wrong.
That is not only wrong, it is idiotic, stupid and deadly.
Nevertheless, lots of things are spiritually deadly. And too often, too many genuine Christians too glibly gloss over that fact in their own lives and in their discussions with or about THOSE OVER THERE who are guilty of
the more awful, more deadly sins.
All sins are spiritually deadly.
The wages of all sins = death.
