Interesting how you left out "Family studies suggest" and the "But..." part

With that said I don't necessarily disagree with you on your closing points but as the article goes on to explain about biological preferences such as appearance.

We had a large outbreak of homosexual and trans converts in our local high school. Small school in the delta. One common factor in all kids who came out.

They developed a friendship with a flaming trans kid who challenged authority and claimed to be born that way.

Now every one of his friends has come out homo, Bi, or trans because you guessed it, they were born that way.

I am male and the thought of sex with a male makes me want to vomit. I couldn't change that. So I would tend to think that they can't just easily change their preference either.



It's difficult for me to understand why someone makes that choice also. Doesn't mean they aren't making a choice.

quote:

There are plenty of kids that are obviously homosexual even before they reach puberty. One of my daughters had a friend that she knew was gay even before he did.


Your daughters friend chose what everyone wanted him to do. That's called peer pressure.

quote:

So before anyone feels vindicated in hate, they need to first that God that they were not saddled with that burden.


Calling sin sin is not hate. Choosing a gay lifestyle is sinful. Are some people tempted by that lifestyle? Yes. Other people are tempted by porn, or money, or women, or any number of other things. We are called to turn to God and ask him for help in resisting those temptations. Ask forgiveness when we fail.

Throwing all of that to the wind to completely embrace and live in your sin without seeking forgiveness is abhorant behavior, and that is what our society is encouraging people who struggle with this particular sin to do. It is not hatred to point out that is a road away from God. It is the opposite.

Self awareness isn’t your strong suit


A deity who can walk on water and create the universe in 7 days seems somewhat magical. Heaven is often portrayed as above earth so sky also seems like an accurate descriptor. Maybe fairy was harsh but doesn’t see too far off and the book is factually about 2000 years old. Seems like a pretty accurate characterization to me not bigoted at all. I spent 12 years in the Catholic school system and have many friends and family who are practicing. I promise you I am not bigoted and certainly am not advocating for denying Christian’s the right to marry or denying them service under the guise or religious freedom as the Catholic Church and its followers have done to gays and lesbians for decades.

Yeah. There’s no way that cultural pressure or societal ideals would be a part of such a young man’s sexuality.

They never even told him they thought he was homosexual. So no, it had zero to do with peer pressure.

Never said it was. I just know that some heterosexual people like to HATE homosexual people and the "no homo gene" allows them to feel vindicated in hating gay people. Excuse, crutch.

I too believe homosexuality is a sin. But that doesn't mean I judge homosexuals. That is my only point.

As a very wise man once said. It is easy to love your friends...

Loving your enemies is hard and we are often called upon to do hard things.

In determining ones actually sexuality? No. However, in the past cultural pressure and societal ideals have played a part in convincing gay people into suppressing their sexuality and either living alone or attempting to lie to a woman their whole life. Now that is has become more socially acceptable and there is much less backlash more people come out and choose not to stay closeted their whole life. This may be where you are getting confused

Lefties are in a predicament:

They insist that it's genetic and want proof of a gay gene so they don't have to take personal responsibility for their deviance.

But if a gay gene were to be discovered then the abortion rate for gay-positive embryos would skyrocket and they'd be crying "holocaust".



Did you miss the part about... "studies have suggested that genetics account for about 32 percent of heritability of homosexual behavior"?

Read it again. It doesn't say what you seem to think it says.

Dude would you have turned gay if one of your friends said you were?

And think about it. If someone suggest he was gay... I would imagine that person and most of his friends already knew he was gay then guess what? He was already gay and didn't succumb to peer pressure.

I grew up in a Catholic School, watched the two people who couldn’t hide they were gay like I was fortunate enough to be able to get mercilessly bullied and was told my whole life by authority figures that my sexuality was wrong. I spent many nights praying and crying myself to sleep that God would change me because I was convinced I was going to hell for something I couldn’t control and was constantly depressed. If anything the peer pressure that you are describing was starkly in the opposite directions and still later in college I came out and accepted who I was. Let me personally tell you your world view is completely off and all your accomplishing by advancing this rhetoric is turning people away from the Church.
