Don’t misunderstand. I probably agree with the author theologically and philosophically. I agree with the conclusion that same-sex couples are not “the same” as opposite-sex couples. And I thoroughly appreciate the informed research that I’m sure will be dissected and debated vehemently between the LGBTQ and conservative Christian communities.

What bothers me is what happens in me when I read it. My gut says, “Alright! More proof that I’m right!” And that’s the problem. The problem is in me. It’s in my pride. It’s in my approach. It’s in believing that if the stats stack up in favor of my opinion, I will be able to more fully persuade people that they’re wrong.

It’s a good article and I’m thankful for it, but I’m praying that I see it as information that compels me to further compassion for those trapped in the sin of homosexuality rather than ammunition in a cultural cat fight. Make sense?

“A substantial body of research and articles written in idealistic support [OF] same-sex relationships makes this consistently clear, beyond any honest debate.”

“These scholars creatively explains that this stability imbalance is likely due to the “high standards lesbians bring to their intimate unions…” (p.12)
