‘Love Does Not Delight in Evil, but Rejoices With the Truth.’ A Theological and Pastoral Reflection On My Journey Away From A Homosexual Identity
This article offers theological reflection on the author’s experience, initially as a celibate gay person and subsequently as someone who has chosen not to be defined as gay and who has married. It argues that faithfulness to the classic Christian teaching about sex and marriage is liberating rather than homophobic, and that the contemporary cultural tendency to conflate sexual desire with identity bears at least some of the blame for the gay experience of marginalisation. This conflation must be questioned. The article concludes by relating this to Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s critique of anthropocentric construals of ‘love’.

ListenWhy does my same-sex marriage have to do with you? Why the fuss over this?
Marriage is truly the most basic unit of society. Do we really believe that we can redefine it and it won’t do
something to every other element of society? That is short-sighted at best and foolish at worst. Whether it affects society for good or for ill is another issue. But what is not at issue is whether it will change anything for all of us.
