A man having a fleeting sexual attraction to another man doesn't make him a homosexual any more than a man having a fleeting desire to take a car out of the showroom without paying for it makes him a thief.

So is a man who, throughout his entire life, is sexually attracted exclusively to persons of the same gender but never engages in sexual activity with anyone of either gender a heterosexual or something else?

"I'm long-haired and nearsighted. Those traits define part of who I am, but not the sum total or even a majority of it."

Why were you not carrying a sign "Long-haired nearsighted people for life" at the rally? Is it possibly because your life does not revolve around it?

Believe it or not, I've met homosexuals who would never march in a rally of any kind just to identify as a homosexual. To them, their sexual orientation is just a small part of who they are and it's nothing over which to make a big deal -- it's only an issue that is made known when it comes to romantic pairings

He's celibate, and I wouldn't expect him to be carrying a sign about it. But you won't find such a man who hasn't already been twisted by some event in his life.

Believe it or not, I've met homosexuals who would never march in a rally of any kind just to identify as a homosexual.

Would they insist on carrying signs? If not, then I would have politely asked Nellie to let them march with her.

I have known many homosexuals who don't make a big deal out of their sexuality. They know I have a problem with their sexuality. I know they have a problem with my religious beliefs. We stick to subjects and venues that will not cause those issues to come to the surface and we get along fine. But I pray for their healing.

Shalom.
