why isn't that "sin" between the "sinner" and his/her god? If god is so omnipotent, why did he make some people homosexual if it is an abomination to him? (I don't believe that "choice" or "lifestyle" crap). Isn't everyone supposedly one of "his children"? I think people who are uncomfortable with LGBTQ+ use religion as an excuse to shun or demonize those who are not like themselves.

I can't imagine the pressure Mr. Siegel felt thinking he was an abomination because his faith told him so.
