The Truth in Everything: Sexuality
Bridging the Gap Between Anti-LGBTQ and LGBTQ Communities with Truth
Sex, Temptation, and the Beauty in Us All
(An essay offered in love and truth)
Modern sexuality has reshaped the foundation of our society. My heart breaks for the younger generations who experiment with love without knowing its true meaning. I fear what lies ahead. The culture of indulgence has numbed us to sex and fractured the unity between men and women. What was once done for love and life has been reduced to fleeting pleasure.
Sex is now more often associated with lust than love. In this essay, I hope to uncover the deeper meaning of sex and sexuality, and offer a path forward—one that speaks honestly to both the LGBTQ and anti-LGBTQ communities. Neither side holds the whole truth. Both circle it from different angles.
I write this to save younger generations from both the lust and hatred that I’ve known too well.
Why Sex Exists
All life in the universe is oriented toward growth, reproduction, and forward motion—even time itself. Sex, then, is a gift given to humans for the sake of life. It is sacred. Yet today, it’s often treated as indulgence, identity, or entertainment. We live in a pleasure-driven society, and herein lies the problem.
It is not our attractions themselves—whether gay or straight—that are inherently wrong. Rather, the issue is how we respond to them. When sexuality becomes guided by lust rather than truth and love, it loses its beauty and purpose.
What We Are Responsible For
As human beings, we are called to preserve life and serve others—not satisfy ourselves. Lustful sex, whether heterosexual or homosexual, undermines this calling. Actions driven purely by lust are not loving, but self-centered. They may bring temporary satisfaction, but they weaken the soul and the society long-term.
If drunkenness became society’s virtue, we would fall. That’s what’s happened with sexuality—it has become a badge of honor, a category of identity, and a public symbol. But sex is sacred. It was never meant to be our identity, but our offering.
Orientation vs. Expression
Homosexuality: A man who sees beauty in another man is not wrong. That vision can be a gift. But when lust is added, it deceives and distorts what was good, drawing one away from God’s design.
Heterosexuality: A man who desires a woman may do so in line with nature. But lust corrupts even this when it’s detached from love and reproduction.
Bisexuality: The ability to see beauty in both sexes is not inherently wrong. But again, the danger lies in turning that vision into indulgence.
Transgender identity: A man who resonates with feminine sensitivity, or a woman who resonates with strength, is not wrong. These are human qualities. But to act on the desire to become the opposite sex—rather than to integrate and understand those gifts—is a temptation, not a calling.
All Are Tempted
We are all tempted—by lust, pride, envy, or escapism. To feel temptation is not sinful. But to justify it, celebrate it, or build a life on it—that leads to ruin.
If we could separate sexuality from indulgence, we might discover something extraordinary. A gay man might show us how to perceive beauty in men with reverence. A person experiencing gender dysphoria might have the emotional sensitivity to help bridge the gap between male and female. These are powerful human capacities. When uncorrupted by lust, they reveal how complex and beautiful we are as God's creatures.
When sexuality is no longer about gratification, but about reverence, we will begin to heal.
What Is Right
The call remains the same for everyone:
Reserve sex for reproduction, in committed love, with one partner.
Resist lust in all its forms.
Teach the next generation that it’s good to see beauty in others — even the same sex.
It’s good to possess sensitivity, empathy, and depth.
But it is not good to turn desire into identity.
And it is not good to act out what tempts us, when it leads us away from our created design.
Conclusion
This is not about condemnation. It’s about direction. Truth is not meant to shame us, but to set us free.
We were made for love, not indulgence.
For truth, not impulse.
And for God, not ourselves.
Let us walk toward Him—together.
this was beautifully written! you truly emphasised on this post that what you're saying is not to condemn, but to put insight on when sexual orientation can feed our lust and greed. Absolutely refreshing read!
