I've got this conundrum I'm trying to reason through regarding the LGBTQ+ community. I've got some friends from childhood that have come out as gay late in life (in 60's), I am also in my 60's. It is my believe that we're all a part of God and that God isn't going to condemn a part of himself to hell, but I also know God wants us to love each other and I know family is incredibly important. And there is where my conundrum lies.

At the same time I want to be forgiving to those who live this lifestyle, and God knows I've done plenty of sinning of my own kind myself, I do NOT want them pushing their agenda because I believe it is destroying the nuclear family and the end result of that can only be the destruction of humanity.

When I was a teenager, we had some neighbors who were openly gay, but they were not trying to force their lifestyle on anyone else the way everyone seems to be doing today. I don't understand why things can't return to a live and let live situation like we used to have. It isn't going to destroy humanity if 3% of the population decides to live a non-productive life style, but when the majority do and those that do opt to reproduce don't do it in a responsible manner, then it is a problem.
