I now believe God's way forward is not just through fulfilling non erotic same sex relationships, or in finding heterosexuality. The hope Scripture encourages us to have, through Christ, is much more than that. God has created us to receive and give love in relationships. The powerful driving force of homosexual love can seem to be a legitimate search for this God created need. As with all our desires for love, they are inevitably affected by our unmet needs from childhood, or our 'brokenness'. In homosexual relationships, many have felt loved and affirmed in a powerful way. Often the quality of love and commitment may be greater than in some heterosexual marriages. If our theology is strongly influenced by feelings of well being, we may become convinced that God could not condemn this. We may have heard Christians argue that homosexual relationships do not work and cause even more frustration and heartache. Whilst this is certainly true in many instances, it is not always so.
