What difference does it make how a homosexual compulsion originates? The basis for antipathy to homosexual behavior is that it is clearly and explicitly forbidden by scripture and tradition.
For that source of authority, how the behavior comes about is of no importance.
I am "oriented" towards adultery. That I do not act on my orientation is a choice, one which is usually easy but, as all men know, is not always easy.
Because God made me to desire beautiful women, and because eradicating that desire with some type of "therapy" seems Orwellian and bizarre, I suppose I just have to live with it.
Why is this different from what homosexuals must do?
I’m with you. This whole thing is a waste of time.
I’m just glad to see that both sides can make s—t up. It’s not fair when only one group does it.
“Why is this different from what homosexuals must do?”
Because normal sexual desire is of and from God, even though our spirituality is corrupted by Original Sin, whereas same-sex attraction disorder is of and from Satan.
It 100% matters for politics.
If it born and unalterable like skin color then they can claim immutability under the law.
If it can change like all other destructive behaviors then personal responsibility for the deathstyle consquences ensue.
