When straight ppl get together to talk about their struggle against sexual sin, it’s normal, expected, part of healthy “accountability,” a way to fight against ongoing temptation.
When gay ppl do the same thing, it’s part of defining ourselves by sin.

I can’t count the number of church community groups I’ve seen for straight men over the years to discuss their ongoing struggles against sexual temptation.
I can’t count the number of PASTORS I’ve seen admit from the PULPIT that they have a porn addiction & keep covenant eyes on their devices to help them stay accountable to their wife and overseers.
But gay people? If we want to talk about OUR experiences with sexuality and the challenges WE face, unacceptable. Forget using plain vernacular to describe ourselves as gay. English PERIOD is off the table. Same-sex attraction is not only a sin, it can’t even be talked about.
The #pcaga is currently floating a proposition to permanently bar people like me from holding office, claiming that we define ourselves by our “remaining sinfulness” and are therefore disqualified from leadership. 
I’m a Christian. Reformed. Committed to an orthodox theology. Celibate & more conservative in my personal beliefs about human sexuality than the vast maj. of Xns I know.
I’m also attracted to women & don’t keep it secret.
For many, this alone is anathema.
