CHENG: Anti-gay Christians love to quote John 8:32, which says that "the truth will make you free." According to them, if only lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people would simply accept the truths of the Christian faith, we would discover the error of our ways, repent of our sins and miraculously change our misdirected sexual orientations and/or gender identities.
VOL: First of all, orthodox Christians are not "anti-gay" (that would be homophobic). We are anti gay BEHAVIOR, which has the potential to shorten lives. John 8:32 is not the only verse orthodox Christians quote; there are seven texts in Scripture that specifically and clearly prohibit sodomy and sex outside of marriage that is not between a man and a woman. Also, there is no such thing as "sexual orientation", which implies a genetic predisposition where none exists. Same sex attractions, for that is what they really are, can be redirected through therapy. There is a ton of medical evidence and changed lives to say so.
