As a gay man and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ I can say that I am an outsider.
I am not one of those whom the Church traditionally blesses.
But the Bible clearly indicates that those who were considered outsiders were blessed by God and included by Jesus.
From the childless woman and the eunuchs in Isaiah.
To the Syro-Pheonician woman in Mark and the Samaritan woman in John.
From the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts.
To the Gentiles in Paul's letters.
Outsiders are constantly embraced by God and Jesus.
And so I can say that gay men are included in the Kingdom of God.
And we are blessed with Eternal Life!
