Being sexually attracted to someone of the same sex can be a harrowing experience. When sexual identity has the power to define who we are, finding oneself to be different to others can have stressful impacts.

Yet the Christian response to same-sex attraction can often be simplistic and hurtful, being unaware of the gravity of the issues involved. At other times, persons facing these questions and struggles are conveniently ignored.

How does the church craft a right approach towards persons who face such situations unique to them? Debbie speaks to Dr Hera Lukman to discuss the areas surrounding same-sex attention - what it is, why it is a big deal, whether a change in orientation is possible, lessons from the now defunct Exodus International and finally, and a right Christian approach in building helpful relationships with these persons.
