But that&#x27;s the thing about it. A sermon does not hit the same topic every time. Take homosexuality. As I was growing up, homosexuality was not a topic that was often covered. In  most biblical circles (at least of the denomination that I attended) homosexuality was a black-and-white issue: it&#x27;s wrong 100% of the time regardless of circumstances.<p>In my high school years, I knew of 3 closeted gay people that attended my church. Since homosexuality was rarely talked about, you could reasonably assume that it may get talked about once a year - if that. On those days, however, I&#x27;m sure it felt as if the were being publicly lambasted for something they had no control over. I have never even considered myself bisexual, but it always made me extremely uncomfortable listening to sermons about homosexuality. I can only imagine how those people felt.<p>This is a situation in which I feel that someone who otherwise attends a service regularly would feel the need to speak out.
