As a global society, we do not have to agree, endorse or condone the lifestyle choices of others. However, history has taught us that we equally cannot and should not excuse those who would hide behind religion or misuse God's word to justify bigotry and persecution.
Commit to stop making excuses. When we make excuses, we lie to ourselves and continue bad habits.
We have to get rid of excuses, no matter why you are the way you are, don't let it be an excuse to stay that way.
Don't give in to excuses that can keep you from really living the best life God has for you.
