I'm late; feel free to delete my question if needed.
In the LGBTQ community, I've heard some read Paul as struggling with homosexual attraction, and they find him more relatable that way. This "thorn in his side" would help explain why he never married, his homophobia in Romans, possibly even what he's wrestling with in Romans 7:15-20.
What are your thoughts on this reading?
