Homosexuality

Faith Q&A › Metropolitan Youssef › Christian Living › Homosexuality

The question

On a Coptic Orthodox message board, someone has started a website for "Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender people" who also identify themselves as being Coptic Orthodox. The website is: http://queercopts.tripod.com/. This is such a disgrace to our church, and I was very hurt to see that somebody did this. Should I write to the administrator?

The answer

Thank God this page is still under construction. You can write to the administrator and ask her to explain how she can identify herself as a Copt and a lesbian at the same time. The Coptic Church holds on to the biblical teaching about homosexuality that it is a sin one should resist and repent for, not boast about.
