Following five years of prayer and thought -- after coming out as gay at 15 years old -- a young gay Christian man, TJ Montoya, put together this well-researched video response to Christians who don't "agree with" or understand homosexuality and its relationship to the Bible. Montoya, whose mother is a Christian missionary and father is a worship pastor, came out in 2010.

"It's been a long journey," Montoya says about coming out. "But it truly does get better. So I decided to make a video explaining what the Bible actually says about homosexuality."

Think you know the Bible verses? You may be surprised at Montoya's educational sermon.
