This week, we talked about gender roles and homosexuality, it is a tough topic, but I learned a lot. Learning about homosexuality in this class was really eye opening. I learned so much about it and was able to clarify a lot about them, why they are the way they are, and how they can be helped. It is not the end of the world if someone, especially in the church, has feelings of homosexuality because it is something that can be helped and stems from problems out of their control that played a big part in their development. I learned that we need to just love them and by doing that, we can help them know what to do. I thought it was so interesting that it never starts with a sexual desire like our culture often says, but that it starts with a want for an emotional bond with the opposite sex. Homosexuality is harshly misunderstood and I’m glad that I had the opportunity to learn about it so that I can share this knowledge.
As members of the church, we’ve always been told that gender is something very sacred and a crucial part to who we are in this life and the next. God never makes mistakes when it comes to gender and we should embrace our genders and the roles that come with them. They are divine roles and are not to be messed with. Satan is working hard to confuse gender and it’s roles and he’s done a pretty good job so far, but we need to know that it is so important and should not be taken lightly.
