There is a growing trend in the world to experiment with "alternative lifestyles" as some might put it. This would include the whole gamut of LGBTQ+.
Many parents think that homeschooling their children will protect them from these things, but I have found that homeschooling parents cannot protect their children from these things unless they choose to go live in the woods without internet and television.
I have been saddened to see young adults my kids grew up within the homeschool community, transgender themselves, making life-altering changes to their bodies and personalities, some of which can not be undone. And more recently it came to my attention that another of one of our children’s friends who was homeschooled has become gay. My heart sinks when I see these things.
Our society has lost its moral bearings. On Facebook when I have attempted to discuss these and other moral issues I have been met with accusations of hate, intolerance, been told to quit referencing an antiquated book and get up to speed
with science and labeled any number of other horrible things. I’ve been told it’s none of my business how these people choose to live and expose themselves in public parades.
Our nation was founded on the principles of moral ethics found in the Bible and that is what made our nation great for so many years. If there are no absolutes in the area of moral behavior, then a nation begins to break down into moral chaos.
What are some of those moral absolutes?
The Ten Commandments contain some of them that should apply to all of us regardless of our religious beliefs. The commandments that deal with our relation to others are...
Honor your father and your mother.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet.
These should govern all our lives regardless of our religion and life would be much improved as a result. It would solve the issues of abortion and crimes that take the life of another, disrespect for our elderly, marriage infidelity, crimes against other people and it would cause us all to be more content instead of trying to keep up with the Joneses.
Here are just a few verses that have to deal with gender, that if people who claim to be Christians read and internalized, I don’t see how they could accept the idea of transgenderism or gay marriage.
Genesis 5:2
2He created them male and female and blessed them.
And he named them "Mankind" when they were created.
Genesis 1:27
27So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
Galatians 3:28
28There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and
female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
And then there are Scriptures regarding marriage and the genders to be involved.
"And He answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become
one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.""
Matthew 19:4-6 NKJV

The problem is that those who have been raised in the church and that are now joining the LGBTQ+ movement, either through a lack of solid teaching and Bible study or simply a rejection of what the Bible has to say in favor of what society has to say, have rejected the moral code in Scripture and replaced it with their own or that of society. It happened in Bible times. This is seen in passages in the Bible where it says the following:
"In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes."
Judges 17:6 NKJV

God often gave the people up to their own devices to let them bear the consequences of their own choices. I am sure at first they thought everything was fine since God is longsuffering and patient. But it never turned out good in the end for
them. Sodom and Gomorrah are examples. The great flood of Noah’s time is another example.
I know I will be accused of all sorts of ugly things for writing this. I want you to know I am not writing this out of hate. I am writing it out of sadness as I see people who my kids care about throwing God’s absolute moral code out the
window in favor of whatever seems right in their eyes for the moment. I’m not trying to throw water on their celebration or ruin their life. I just see artificial happiness being created that one day will come crashing down on
them, whether in this life or at the final judgment, where they will look back and regret what they have done.
"There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death."
Proverbs 14:12 NKJV
https://www.bible.com/114/pro.14.12.nkjv
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 6:23 NKJV
https://www.bible.com/114/rom.6.23.nkjv
"For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.""
Romans 10:13 NKJV
https://www.bible.com/114/rom.10.13.nkjv
True joy comes from a true relationship with Jesus Christ and will result in a life that wants to please Him.
