The website for the group called A Common Bond has an excellent monograph on this topic called A Different View of Homosexuality...according to the Bible. It makes for fascinating reading. It also comes with a bibliography for those seeking more information. You can read the monograph here.
I was disfellowshipped for being a gay man. I remember telling my judicial committee, "You can be anything before and even after becoming a Witness. A person can be a murderer, thief, adulterer, alcoholic, drug abuser, even a child molester and most Witnesses will give him a pass. But be a gay man or a lesbian woman, and they want to burn him or her at the stake. The emphasis on 'traditional' nuclear families and heterosexuality which the organization has only increases the isolation, pain, and loneliness that gay people feel as Witnesses. We're told that we are deserving only of death; that our service to and love for God is unacceptable; and that we must remain celibate for the rest of our lives. How fair is that?" Naturally, they did not care to answer or even examine my question.
I found the monograph very helpful in my own spiritual journey. I still love God and want to serve him, but I realized that was impossible as long as I remained one of Jehovah's Witnesses. The organization not only wants us to deny our nature, but it teaches us to hate and loathe ourselves and each other. How many young men in particular have been driven to suicide because of the unloving and hate-filled environment inside the organization? These are young people who have nobody to talk to, nobody to validate their feelings with, nobody who will extend a hand of friendship and honest affection to them.
Of course, as Joliette can affirm, lesbian women have their problems in the organization too. But seeing that suicide is the third leading cause of death among young men aged 15 to 24, I wonder how many young Witness men have chosen this way to end their pain and misery because they were told that their lives were worth less than nothing.
