NewWhat this survey doesn't make
What this survey doesn’t make clear is whether the individual is actively partcipating in this lifestyle. Also, are all of the LGBTQ+ the same? Two letters after the “+” comes “A”. Someone who is asexual or not interested in participating in sexual activities. Not sure if someone who is single and not attracted to sex is the same as a practicing lesbian.
NewSo much lumping
Yes, there is so much unhelpful lumping together in these things. A really huge distinction from a biblical point of view is the difference between what you’re inclined to do and what you actually do… temptation vs. sin. The distinction is completely ignored pretty much everywhere.
