The reason we get worked up is that the sodomites don't keep their sexuality to themselves, but want to flaunt it in our face, teach it in our schools, and earn special treatment.
You are totally right~ Chastity Bono, daughter of Sonny Bono and Cher is lesbian, and she said she would NOT wish being gay on anyone. It is a difficult life. Looking back I now realize that there were always gay people around. We called them bachelors and old maids. But they were really old and never married. Now I find out that many of them WERE gay. They were very discreet about it.
IF gays could change, they would change VERY early on. Like my three friends from high school who were gay and made a suicide pact. For them, that was easier than living with being gay.
I think most gays just want to be left alone.
NOT all of them do that. And ANY heterosexual who has EVER had sex with someone they are not married to, are in the same sinful boat. Everyone thinks their own sin is whiter than the next guy's sin. The Ten Commandments - break one, you break them all.
The current controversy isn't whether government should get involved in what some adults do in private, almost everyone agrees it should not.
Rather at current issue in the U.S. is whether or not the government should sanction gay relationships as Marriages. And in some more "progressive" nations, whether or not the Christians should be allowed to maintain that homosexuality is a sin.
Although Mass has the lowest divorce rate, it also has the lowest marriage rate. If homosexuals can marry, it seems that darned few other people want to.
September 18, 2004- Drs. Warren Throckmorton and Mark Yarhouse led an American Psychological Association panel to discuss sexual-orientation theories and the possibility of change. The panel, held in late July, was part of the APA's annual conference, which took place this year in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Dr. Throckmorton and Dr. Yarhouse presented evidence from their research that indicated that individuals could overcome same-sex attractions--especially those clients with a religious background.
According to Dr. Throckmorton, "Mark and I presented the side that argued that a same-sex attraction does not obligate a person to declare a gay identity. We argued that sexual identity management was a very viable option for young people whose beliefs and values do not endorse homosexuality."
Throckmorton and Yarhouse view success in changing a person's sexual orientation not as something quickly achieved, but as a process over time.
During the Q&A session, both psychologists were treated cordially and with respect. "It was the kind of response that I think a professional association ought to be known for," said Throckmorton. He noted that when he spoke four years ago at an APA conference in Washington, DC, the audience was decidedly hostile to his message. This year was different. He expressed appreciation to the APA for allowing such a panel to be conducted.
Throckmorton was also encouraged that a number of psychology graduate students were in the audience, and he expressed gratitude that they had been exposed to his views. "These graduate students were exposed to a perspective they had never heard before," said Throckmorton.
Dr. Brent Scharman, past president of the Utah Psychological Association, told Throckmorton that this was the best presentation he had heard in 20 years.
Well, in that case you must have a problem with heterosexuals, too... I mean, Madonna, Brittney Spears? Not exactly modest blushing maidens, are they?
Everyone except yourself?

You did a great job telling the truth!
Homosexuality in most cases is obviously inherent and probably genetic. So far it has remained incurable in most cases, despite repeated, aggressive attempts by many to cure it, and most homosexuals have tremendous incentive to alter their orientation.
I am heterosexual. This is not optional. It is the way I am, have always been, and will always be.
I do not think homosexuals find their sexual orientation to be optional either.
btt
bump for later read
Yeah, right! Try telling that to God when you see Him! You're in for a big letdown!
Consider this liberal internal struggle: If a "gay gene" allows expecting parents to identify homosexuality in their unborn child and abortion is a convenient method of disposing of unwanted children, will liberals accept the right to choose the aborting of children because they are gay?
No man forces another to stick his shaft into his feces. That is a choice, as is gay behavior. It remains a preference, not an orientation.
Ewww! That's way too graphic! I'm gonna need bleach to clean that mental image!
