What Does the Bible Say About Homosexuality? - What Do Jehovah's Witnesses Believe?

Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Bible's moral code is the best standard for living, and they choose to abide by that code.  (Isaiah 48:17)  This means that Jehovah's Witnesses reject all sexual misconduct, including homosexuality. (1 Corinthians 6:18) That is the Witnesses' lifestyle choice, and they have a right to it.

At the same time, Jehovah's Witnesses strive to "pursue peace with all people." (Hebrews 12:14) While they reject homosexual acts, Jehovah's Witnesses do not force their view on others, nor do they participate  in homophobic crimes or rejoice when they hear of them.  Jehovah's Witnesses strive to follow the Golden Rule by treating others the way they themselves would like to be treated. - MATTHEW 7:12.
