Then he shares his insight that it is indeed important to have an existence of homosexuality in this world. According to him, homosexuality is created diversity it’s a strength and will balance the world. Also, he said that some people may have gay genes in DNA, and what caused someone to become gay can be related to their genes or their condition when they’re in their mothers’ womb. In his son’s case, the reason why his son becomes gay is his wife experienced severe prenatal stress and research found that 37% of gay males reported their mothers suffered severe prenatal stress. He furthermore says that there’s a heartbreaking study that they’re twice as likely to be bullied, attempted suicide, and in some countries this action is punishable. It shouldn’t be like this, instead, they need to be accepted and embraced.

He is also a Professor of Medicine at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Other than that, he has been named as one of USA’s Today Most Influential Doctors, he also has contributed 300 articles to the medical literature. Though he is best in cardiology and seems doesn’t suit to give a speech about homosexuality, the fact that he is can be considered as a famous and important person can’t make him give an untrustworthy speech. In his speech, he gives examples of studies to support his argument, and he puts his son’s story as an example. Furthermore, he was giving a speech in a big and famous broadcasting company, TED Talks. As I am concerned, a big broadcasting company like TED Talks won’t invite an untrustworthy speaker since it can affect the name of its company.

Yes. When he said homosexuality is balancing the world he explained what is he meant by that by telling a study about ants.

What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
This video discussed how Christians (and other people) might respond to LGBT. Church and many Christians (and maybe other people with certain kinds of beliefs) often give a wrong response to LGBT, they may hate, judge, bully, or corner them without even trying to understand them. There’s actually a certain kind of problem like identity conflict that LGBT may feel. Churches and Christians (and other people holding certain kinds of beliefs) should be more wise and sensible to respond to LGBT. As Jesus gave an example when He responded to a woman who was caught committing adultery, many people were about stone her but on the other hand, Jesus said to the people “for the people who never commit sin can stone her”, then all people left and Jesus said to a woman “go and sin no more”. In this situation, we also should give LGBT people mercy and forgiveness yet not give an endorsement to homosexuality, we need to have knowledge and understanding to respond to them. We might not hate the persons but the behavior, we may be anti-homosexuality but don’t be anti-homosexual (the persons).

This video discussed what homosexuality is wrong according to the bible’s perspectives. The speaker said homosexuality and other sins are not unique by themselves, they’re all sins and are wrong according to the bible. And why is it so? Firstly, God has set up a man and a woman in the beginning to become one flesh that’s God’s way of doing sexuality. Secondly, to do it another way is such distortion and dysfunctional of the way God made it. Third, same-sex attraction is a dysfunctional form of idolatry. It’s each other person’s choice whether to confess in their heart that they’re broken and surrender to God to help them or just go with it, not brokenness that causes sins but sins that cause people broken.
