The Bible, Christianity and Homosexuality - GayChurch.org One of the best reads on the bible and homosexuality. It shows 6 commonly used excerpts from the bible and debunks them one by one. It really goes deep into the meaning of these excerpts and defines each sentence carefully.
The "clobber" passages from the Bible are usually taken well out of context, but it is necessary to point out that some churches endorse a view that the Bible is inerrant, infallible and inspired directly by God, and must therefore be taken literally in every detail. It's an untenable and contradictory position that totally debases holy scripture, but it's one that is held by the biggest denominations in some parts of the world I'm afraid. So if your parents belong to a denomination that holds firmly to this view, you may struggle to change their mind. That's not to say you shouldn't try. If you are a LGBT Christian yourself, you should definitely open your mind to a more mature understanding of the Bible and maybe join an affirming congregation from the Gay Church directory. There is no reason why you cannot be openly gay, lesbian, bisexual or trans and part of the Christian tradition.
