“A Feminine Touch”

Dear Manly Man,
No, it is not okay for a man to act homosexual or effeminate. Ever. The Bible clearly states that we are to avoid all appearances/forms of evil (1 Thess 5:22). Homosexuality is a sin (Rom 1:26-27); christians should never look like they are sinning. Contrary to popular media attention, christians do not hate homosexuals, nor does the Bible teach that we should hate anyone (Matt 5:43-45). As the old saying goes, “Hate the sin, but love the sinner”. Having said that, homosexuality is dead wrong and a godless lifestyle that will condemn one to hell (Rev 21:8). Christians should be teaching and converting people from homosexuality, not imitating their behavior.
The Bible specifically says that it is wrong for a man to even act in an effeminate way (1 Cor 6:9). Men should act like men, not women. Women are naturally feminine, and men are naturally masculine - hence the words of Romans 1:26-27 that state that homosexuals “give up the natural use”. It may seem comical when you see a man acting in a feminine way, but it isn’t funny – it’s sinful.
