Question
Dear Sal,

            Hi thanks for replying back. I have a very odd but serious question? My cousin last year told me I have something to tell you and he said I am gay. I have a boyfriend. I was choked up I felt my heart go to my throat. I had a tear in my eyes I said why? He said he always was when he was little. I know my cousin is sinning very badly. By all means why are there gays? It is ashame to see. I am very sad for him and I pray that he will come to know that he is sinning. Is there a demon inside one female or male that makes them gay? I am so heart broken. I dont know what to do? As a catholic I cant accept his problem but I am nice about it to him. I cry in my prayers and I said God how why did this happen? Please help him please. I dont know what to make of it. I am against gay pride and gays and lesbians even bies. I believe that man and woman are ment to be of God not man and man and woman and woman. What is going on here? Sal I need answers why is so many humans gay and are they falling away from faith from God?  

Answer
Dear Jacqueline:

You are right that homosexuality is very wrong. God hates the homosexual lifestyle (He still loves the person). There are many reasons why people become homosexuals. Homosexuality exists because of sinfulness. If man had not sinned there would not be any such thing as homosexuals. God did indeed make man and woman to be together not man and man or woman and woman. Many homosexuals do not believe in God. Many that do believe in God believe in a false god of their making. They do this out of necessity because the True God does not support their abomination of a lifestyle. We must pray for them.

God Bless You and Comfort You,
Sal
