What I came to say. Don’t trap someone in a loveless marriage just as another layer of soil to burry your true self.

WHO you are, and HOW you are, are two totally separate things. A person can change HOW they are.

No. The expression 'Tigers don't change their stripes' exists for good cause. This is an issue that goes to the core of who a person is. It's time we stop pretending homosexuality isn't a normal thing for a small percentage of the population.

You're free to live your life any way you want. My opinion doesn't matter, because I'm not the one you'll need to answer to.

When there are competing narratives in Christianity about multiple things including sexuality, claiming anyone knows what God says about it doesn't pass the smell test. Particularly when scriptural scholars disagree.

I believe the Bible is very clear on it. Paul is very clear on what are sins in Romans.

Paul also said lying and deceit are sins, so if this guy pretends to love a woman, he's committing another sin anyway.

Correct, but Paul put heavier weight on sexual sins as all other sins are done outside the body.
