OVERCOMING HOMOSEXUALITY

If you are struggling with unwanted homosexuality (also known as "same-sex attraction") please know there is hope - real hope.

First, you need to understand no one is born 'gay' - no one. No scientific studies have ever concluded homosexuality is biological. In fact, the mountain of evidence and research available clearly indicates quite the contrary - that homosexuality is an unnaturally developed condition, in many cases stemming from some type of early childhood trauma or dysfunction.

It is also important to understand in most cases, one's attraction to the same sex is not necessarily something one "chooses."

Homosexuality can develop from a variety of different circumstances, including (but not limited to):

1. Childhood molestation

2. Early exposure to pornography

3. Premature sexual experience or encounter

4. Broken, disrupted or non-existent relationship with the same-sex parent

5. Some type of early childhood trauma

There are also many other factors within the childhood and teen years that can play a part in one going down the homosexual path. These early prepubescent circumstances and trauma are then reinforced throughout one's childhood, teen and adult years, causing sexual (and sometimes gender) confusion. The individual may experience rejection from the same-sex parent, as well as other peers of the same sex.

This external rejection can lead to rejection of one's own masculinity or femininity within the individual. When puberty kicks in, these feelings then become distorted and sexualized - thus leading to one's physical and sexual desire for the same sex.

When the individual eventually experiences 'homosexual' sex with another individual, he or she momentarily feels 'complete' - feeling he or she has finally found the love, approval, acceptance and attention they have always craved from the same sex. One also temporarily feels 'whole' in the lack of their masculinity or femininity. The fact is this never fills the void one truly feels inside.

Many homosexual men and women will vainly go from partner to partner looking for "Mr. or Ms. Right" but will never find that individual - thus the reason for homosexual promiscuity. Though some individuals may find a homosexual partner they will "cling" onto for many years, this is nothing more than an unhealthy emotional attachment and co-dependency - a desperate attempt to steer away from the real underlying issues and avoid confronting and dealing with the deep seeded trauma and/or pain.

Simply put, no matter how successful, professional, popular or "happy" on the outside some homosexual men and women may seem - inside, they are clearly broken, hurting individuals.

When a man or woman struggling with homosexuality becomes brutally honest, he or she knows deep inside something is not right – in fact, something is desperately wrong.

Overcoming one's unwanted homosexual attractions is a process which may not be completely easy, yet it is completely possible. Thousands of individuals have successfully left their unwanted homosexuality and moved on to "healthy heterosexuality" - many even happily married today with children. Even a greater number of men and women are currently on that journey of change and restoration.

Just as a drug addict or alcoholic is not "born that way" and would never be encouraged to remain in their destructive lifestyle, the same must be said of the homosexual individual. Homosexuality is unnatural, unhealthy, morally and spiritually debilitating - and in many cases – deadly.

Friend, change is possible - completely possible! If you are willing to begin the journey to finally deal with what you have probably struggled with most of your life - today can be the first day of the rest of your life.

SBM has produced a 6-1/2 hour audio series and book that has been life changing for many - for individuals just like you. It is called Reaching the Homosexual for Christ - Coming Out of Homosexuality - Change is Completely Possible.

This series, over a year in the making, will take you step by step on understanding the issue of homosexuality - what God says on the subject, the causes, the warning signs, the dangers of and the viable means for complete change. We feel it is one of the most comprehensive, rock solid biblical resources available today for men and women seeking true, lasting change.

This special series is also ideal for mothers and fathers of homosexual children, married couples with a spouse struggling with same-sex attractions, and pastors and individuals looking to effectively minister to and reach individuals who are struggling with homosexuality.

The series Reaching the Homosexual for Christ - Coming Out of Homosexuality - Change is Completely Possible is available in your choice of an 8 CD or 6 Cassette Audio Album plus an 90 page book through SBM's On-Line Ministry Book Store & Resource Center. We strongly encourage you to get your copy today - this very well could be what you have been praying for all along.

We also encourage you to contact SBM personally if you would like to speak with someone privately and confidentially regarding your own situation. Please know - SBM is here to speak with you, to listen, to encourage and to pray. Contact the National Offices of SBM Monday through Friday, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm EST at (203) 926-6960.
