Its been proven again and again. The main motivation for these false teachers approving homosexual conduct comes down to two things: their families or themselves. It had just been a couple of years when McLaren shifted his thinking and abandoned the traditional view of homosexuality being a sin that he grew up with. “I had gone through my change in this view before I ever guessed that any of my kids might be gay,” he said on the radio program.” [source]
