For a long time I've been thinking that if God was opposed to homosexuality why did He make heterosexuality so flimsy?
I was thinking that if I spent too much time in guys or if I were brought up in a boys' school without any contact with girls there's a real high chance that I would've been gay.
The things that we learn in school about gender being a socially constructed thing... Well, I kinda buy into it too. I'm not the sort of Christian who would insist that there is some sort of "naturalness" to heterosexuality, in fact, it seems like it is rather natural for people to simply do whatever they please and choose whomever they want.
What is my response to this? I think that God has left it as such so that we can Honour Him through our conscious, effortful strive towards a particular sort of gender. Men to Honour Him by striving towards masculinity and women by striving towards femininity (something like that).
Because it is so "un-natural", it is so intentional. Because it is so intentional, it can be an act of worship.
Certainly it is harder then, for some people to worship God through their gender and sexuality. But in the same way, some struggle to worship Him in keeping their hands and eyes to themselves.
