From Alan Chambers' blog:
I am thankful for the climate of openness that has been created by those in the gay community who have and do advocate being honest over living in secrecy with regards to one's sexuality. Lest you misunderstand me, I am not saying that I believe people should identify as gay or lesbian or that either labels are congruent with biblical standards. However, I do firmly believe that the gay community has upstaged the Christian community on the moral value of honesty where "coming out" is concerned.
I did an interview this morning with a major Christian magazine and made the comment, "It is time for the leaders within the Christian community who are struggling with any type of sexual, chemical or emotional temptation to be honest about that." The reporter responded by asking, "What if the pastor is struggling with something that is taboo, like homosexuality?"
In my opinion there shouldn't be anything that we can't talk about or confess in church and among other believers. A pastor who struggles with unwanted same-sex attractions shouldn't be shamed by us into secrecy. Neither should such a pastor fall prey to that shame and decide to be secretive. Where there is no honesty sin thrives!
