Church driving gay into Neopaganism?

[Amitola]

Greetings all,

I think when we say 'Christians' (As this is a big group of people), driving the LGBT people into neopagan followings is abit severe. Before i was a Wiccan, i was a very deep Christian, but i had learned from a young age that the bible may not be all its cracked up to be, (Absolutly no offence to anyone who does believe in it) But how can a 'God' or 'Higher Being' condemn their own creation for turning out to be LGBT? The 'Higher Being' has put the ability for people to choose to be gay, why give someone the option, then punish them for choosing...?

My very close friend is gay, and is looking to marry her partner later this year. when i was talking to a college at work about this, she turned her nose up and said she didn't want to her about that sort of filth...she is a Roman Catholic. And although i thought people were being more open minded these days, you can't change a religions beliefs just because others are more accepting and understanding! When you are brought up believing something, it is hard to change your ways, especially the severity of some beliefs upbringing.
