They need to know the Lord Jesus better to be set free of the closet. To rise above what is holding them back and not to be afraid of what others may think of them, knowing that God Loves them as His child. Also thoughts that many people are living under fear who are Christians, and rarely does others in Christianity help, usually in my experience pastors and the like just help keep them in bondage, such as Jesus said of the Pharisees, Luke 11:46, (or Luke 11: 37-53 for context). ---

Why do you think a celibate life is abnormal? It’s certainly _atypical_, but abnormal connotes something pathological, distasteful, unhealthy, or sickening. I can’t see a reason to call voluntary celibacy abnormal that would not also apply to homosexuality. I decline to label either as such. ---
