If He was gay, then He would have wanted Adam for Himself, and would never have created Eve for Adam.

If God was gay, then why would He make a straight Adam? And Adam was clearly straight because God made Eve. That's a heterosexual relationship. It would be pretty awful of God to have made a straight Adam if He wanted a gay relationship with straight Adam.

So, no, for multiple pretty logical reasons, God's not gay.

God is Spirit. He's not a physical person like us. He is not bounded by space, by time, by physical matter. He is infinite, holds the universe in His hands, knows every star, every hair on your head, He is powerful, moral, personal, more mighty and majestic than we can ever comprehend.

okay you got me there. But consider this: if God said “it is not good for man to be alone”, and God wasn’t alone, then why do some (not all) Christians state that homosexuals should be celibate, and imply that they do not deserve a loving companionship with one they choose?

I have some thoughts about this, probably none of which will be satisfying to anyone here. Your question is basically one of the THE big questions, and I know I'm not going to be the one to solve this painful struggle. I'm just posting this to let you know that I've seen your question and haven't forgotten about it. I will respond when I can, but it won't be right away. I am at the edge of my capacity in my non-forum life, and need some time to think about your question, because it's such an important one.
