I mean, I left the Church because of it. I left Christianity for different reasons.

I broadly agree with the previous poster. My sexuality is both my truth, and as an iteration of human sexuality when expressed in line with either a liberal or conservative understanding of sex and relationships is to most people in my community, 'commonsensically moral' or perhaps more accurately, amoral.

If the Church's position is not in line with that, particularly when (as in other denominations) it has chosen to hyper focus on that issue by following secular societies/moralities lead on it and forge a public and private reactionary contrarianism in response, then it can't be 'the truth'. And it weakly reacts, rather than leads.

So it was an act of personal care to walk away from it.

Pro tip: if your God happens to agree with you on everything that you think, odds are you’ve created God in your own image, and not the other way around.

Yeah. Conservatives and traditionalists should take note.
