Christians often use a single passage from Paul’s epistle to the Romans to scripturally justify their condemnation of same-sex orientation, attraction, and marriage. I critique a recent speech by Elder Bruce Hafen to Evergreen International, an organization that allegedly reclaims Church members from their same-sex orientation, and argue that Paul’s epistle can be read to support instead of oppose homosexuality.
