I kissed a girl
Gay girl Rachel Gilson came from a broken family. Her parents met in a gay club, and she only learned of her dad when she was 10 years old. He abandoned Rachel and her mom after physically abusing them. She didn’t have fond memories growing up, and at 14, she had a boyfriend.
A year later, Rachel met a beautiful girl in class. Her classmate asked her to come to her house to help her study. They met, and soon enough, Rachel felt a special connection with her.
Rachel pursued her. Then, that first romantic kiss. She became her first girlfriend they seemed happy.

A gay-straight life
It wasn’t really about “being gay” that bothered her. Her guilt was her refusal to be the kind of person Jesus wants her to be. Consequently, she gave up the relationship and depended on God’s grace to overcome it.
She became a true follower of Christ and ditched the gay life for what God wanted in her life.
Rachel decided to “live a straight life,” trusting what God can do in her life. Eventually, she met a guy; they were married and has fallen in love with him ever since.

Rachel isn’t saying that a “heterosexual marriage” is the solution for homosexuality. Becoming “straight” is not the end goal, either.
Faithfulness to God and the joy that comes from having a relationship with Him is, and should be, everyone’s life goal, gay lesbian or not.
“My Christian life has been imperfect, but Jesus has been faithful to me,” she said. Although sexual purity is important in overcoming a gay lifestyle, she doesn’t see celibacy as the end.

Say yes to traditional marriage
For you to have your own family according to God’s design, you have to say “yes” and allow God to take care of the rest.
Rachel embraced who God wants her to be, and He rewarded her with so much love and joy by having a wonderful husband and daughter.
If you have same-sex struggle like Rachel, God may not be calling you to be “straight” but to be “Holy and pleasing” (Romans 12:1). You can only do this by submitting yourself to the cross of Christ, apart from Him, we cannot bear fruit (John 15:5). More importantly, you will receive
