What is sse side b?

Side B, in the context of the "Side B" movement, refers to a set of principles encouraging celibacy and abstinence for same-sex attracted individuals. It stands in contrast to "Side A," which affirms the possibility and moral permissibility of same-sex relationships.

Key tenets of Side B typically include:

  • Upholding a traditional view of marriage as being between one man and one woman.
  • Promoting sexual%20purity outside of heterosexual marriage.
  • Encouraging individuals with same-sex attraction to pursue holiness and spiritual%20growth through celibacy or mixed-orientation marriage.
  • Often associated with conservative religious beliefs, particularly Christianity.

It's important to note that the Side B approach has been criticized for potentially leading to internalized%20homophobia, depression, and suicidal%20ideation among individuals struggling with their sexual orientation. It has also faced scrutiny for potentially being a form of conversion%20therapy, although proponents often deny this label, arguing that it's not about changing orientation but about choosing behavior.
