That’s why I like Milo. He doesn’t make excuses. He doesn’t embrace the lies that would make him ‘feel’ better. He speaks out strongly about gays being ‘sluts’ and insists that the community adopt *some* standards.
He believes in G-d. He’s a conservative who owns up to his sin - but can’t break it.
Most of us have been there on one level or another. We know that we’re doing the wrong thing, but we don’t stop.
As much as he defends children, as angry as he gets about kids - as much as he pushes that it’s nurture and upbringing that causes homosexuality - I wonder what’s in his past.
I had a gay relative who flat-out said that EVERY gay man that he knew was either molested by a man or damaged by a woman. He was what he was, but he resented it. He didn’t recommend it.
Milo reminds me of this man.
They’re honest.
Owning up to his sin...
None of us are beyond the grace of God. Accepting and taking responsibility for our sin, even if we struggle against temptation and fail, is still an enormous virtue and one that is all too rare.
I shall pray that he be given strength. We all have our temptations. Milo's is no different.
