We are members of the body of Christ. Through Integrity , we explore the meaning of salvation in spite of the rejection and misunderstanding we often experience at the hands of both society and the Church. Integrity is part of the human liberation movement. There are some who have denounced the Church because they regard it as a source of oppression. This has often been the case, but as members of Integrity , we want to work within our Church to overcome the oppression of lesbians and gays.
Sexual orientation is set by the age of five, and is non-elective.
One cannot convert. We want the Church and society to appreciate the variety of human existence and help all people to be creative, loving and affirming individuals. Homosexual self-hatred starts very early. Trying to change a person's sexual orientation is not only impossible, it will do serious psychological damage. Homosexual youth is in peril in today's society.
