LGBTQI- what’s that?

LGBTQI; to some, these are just alphabetical letters written in no order. To another group; these are just but perverts who have teamed up to licence their evil behaviour. And to some other group whose my heart dearly goes out to, they are real life experiences, not just issues but real people- may be their siblings, friends or even themselves, any mention of those alphabets sends chills in their body.

Whichever class of group you identify with, I welcome you to this site where I hope you will informed, encouraged, challenged and stirred to worthwhile convictions.

LGBTQI is an acronym for- Lesbians, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex. Throughout my highschool and campus life and now life away from school, the following are the questions that have popped up once the topic of Sexuality has come into discussion:-

  1. Is it normal?
  2. What is the source- Is it Biology or psychology?
  3. Is it a choice?
  4. Can you get over it, that is, is there a gay to straight procedure?
  5. Is it a learned behaviour and can it be mitigated?
  6. Does the Holy Book not condemn it?
  7. Can you be a Christian and still experience same sex feelings? Is it a demon?
  8. Is it African or just a learned behaviour from the west?
  9. What does coming out mean and what is it’s effect?
  10. Being in the Closet- what does this mean? Is it a safe place to be?
  11. …………….?
  12. ………..?
  13. ………?
  14. ……?

I leave the last four numbers blank since I know you could have a question that I have not yet considered there, feel free to speak it out.

In this regard, I invite you to start this journey with me as I seek to shed light on this topic. I promise to provide as much information as possible while at the same time remaining as practical as I can by relating my discussions with real life stories . In all these, God’s word will remain supreme to all my (our) opinions and will endeavour to divide it rightly under the power of the Holy Spirit whom I believe will save us from all human biasness.

And so, do not just be a visitor to this site, get a space and lodge here. After reading the posts, digest the info and then go to the comments column, I beseech you, leave a comment. Let’s agree and disagree, let’s scream at each other, let’s pat each other’s back, All because, LGBTQI is not just a group of alphabets but rather, real people who are asking real questions that demand right answers.

Let’s go.
