Later in the same conversation, after Jesus has spoken about divorce, the disciples say to him it is better not to marry at all. Jesus says: "That is something which not everyone can accept, but only those for whom God has appointed it. For while some are incapable of marriage because they were born so, or made so by men, there are others who have themselves renounced marriage for the sake of the kingdom of Heaven. Let those accept it who can."

Both sides of the debate about homosexuality in the church, which threatens to split the worldwide Anglican church, hold their views sincerely and after much study. So how can their views be so contradictory? Gettleman, Jeffrey (27 January 2011). "Ugandan Who Spoke Up for Gays Is Beaten to Death". The New York Times . Retrieved 29 January 2011. Korioth, Trisha; Writer, Staff (9 March 2021). "Pediatricians say state bills would harm transgender youths". This shows that Jesus is more concerned with people looking after their own relationship with God, than with enforcement of rules. The reference to being "born so" indicates that heterosexual marriage is fine for those who are heterosexual, but it's OK to be different.

Christians should neither be pro-gay nor anti-gay, because although God hates sin, He still loves the sinners. An illustration of the division can be seen by what either side might say about the friendship in the Old Testament between David and Jonathan. One verse reads: "I grieve for you, Jonathan my brother; dear and delightful you were to me; your love for me was wonderful, surpassing the love of women."The two angels then left Abraham and the Lord and travelled into Sodom (19:1) where they met Lot, Abraham’s nephew. What did Lot do? He offered hospitality. The two incidents of hospitality are explained in exactly the same language. Santos, A. (28 November 2012). Social Movements and Sexual Citizenship in Southern Europe. Springer. p.201. ISBN 978-1-137-29640-5. An anti-gay opinion might be that the friendship between the two men was exactly that - a very close and loyal allegiance.
Gay Is Okay With APA (American Psychiatric Association)". 24 March 2010. Archived from the original on 24 March 2010. Again and again Jesus reaches out to those on the margins of society, like prostitutes and tax collectors, to include them. Although it’s by no means the focus of the book, Sam begins by explaining his own wrestling with his sexuality and faith. This helps us, as readers, to know that the author shares some of our struggles and is not insensitively lecturing or condemning us from on high. In fact, he admits that ‘God’s word to [him] on this issue at times feels confusing and difficult’ (p.10).Ordinarily, I don't read my own books once they're published (it's like listening to a recording of your own voice!). But several months ago I needed to look something up in Is God Anti-Gay? and as I was thumbing through it I realised how much our culture and the conversation around sexuality had moved on since the book first came out. It was ten years ago now. Same-sex marriage wasn't a legal reality in the UK or the US. It was a different world in many respects. The questions I typically get asked have evolved. Some of the language has shifted somewhat as well. So, I figured it needed a bit of an overhaul for its 10th birthday. I hope this new edition will be better placed to serve the kinds of discussions we're having right now. How do you think the conversation around faith and sexuality has changed over the last decade?
