No matter how “socially acceptable” it becomes (even in the extreme of requiring homosexuality by law),
the Law, written on our hearts as human beings,
will always tell us that it’s wrong.
This is the source of the “despondency”,
and there is no way to escape it.
Amen to that, my FRiend! They’re despondent because they were told their whole lives that homosexuality is a sin and it’s morally wrong. So, like the pre-teen stealing a candy bar, they’re nervous, anxious, and eventually that candy bar is going to be consumed but likely not with any zeal since the moral implications of the theft will be heavy on the heart of the thief, or in the case of this analogy, the homo.
