“I always WONDER why any male or female would CHOOSE homosexuality or bisexuality. Yuck.”
I have to comment on your statement. You’re very adamant in your assertion that homosexuality is a choice. This is something I can’t wrap my mind around. I’m a conservative Christian who is against gay marriage so please don’t mistake my premise. But I have known gay people in my youth, 2 friends that ended up being gay later, and I know for a fact, looking back now, and from what they’ve shared with me at a later point, that they were hard-wired that way. They are just as adamant that they would never have “chosen” it as you are that they did. But I think an actual gay person knows themselves and their feelings a bit more than you or I do so I take their word over yours or anyone else who thinks that an instinctual attraction to something is a conscious choice. If a woman, can you actually say that the first time you found yourself crushing on that cute boy in 6th grade was a choice of yours? Or did it just happen naturally...where all of a sudden your glance fell on him and you felt a little surge of interest? You didn’t consciously create that surge. Hormones you had no control over did.
Your statement is something I have a hard time wrapping my mind around. As a conservative Christian, are you saying God created gays to send them straight to eternal damnation? Are you saying there is no hope for them at all? I disagree. I understand that an argument can be made that because they have been given over to reprobate minds, their brains don’t function well enough for them to make good decisions, but I still disagree that they cannot choose to do what is right. Every human being capable of thought can choose whether to act on sinful thoughts or not. It does not matter whether they are “hard-wired that way” or not. Just as we all have the ability to refuse to act on sin, they do not have to act on their contrarian, anti-God, “instinctual attraction.” So yes, choosing to be a homosexual is a choice.
Homosexuality or bisexuality IS a choice. Look it up ANYWHERE. ANYWHERE.
There has been TONS of research on it BECAUSE of the “gay liberation” and all the stuff that went with it.
It’s a choice...not a good one, but a choice nonetheless.
SORRY.
Also, we have no control over the presence and activation of hormones but we SURE have control over our actions. If not, then we are merely animals.
We are taught right from wrong from the get-go but our conscience doesn’t develop until we reach the “age of reason” at ABOUT six or seven years of age.
We DO have control over our actions and responses...that is what makes us SO human: choice.
