There is no debate over the health threats posed by engaging in the homosexual lifestyle. Fischer note that the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association admits homosexuals are at greater risk of AIDS, substance and alcohol abuse, depression and anxiety, hepatitis, STDs, and prostate and colon cancer.

"This is not behavior that any rational society should condone, endorse, subsidize, reward, promote or sanction in domestic policy or in the marketplace,” Fischer wrote. “It's a choice, and a bad one at that."

The drum beat has been to push the propaganda no matter what.
They teach it to the children with zero science backing it.
And when a lie is repeated enough, people will preferentially believe it over any facts presented.

If gays are born that way, then so are pedophiles, and serial rapists, and so on.

If we are to celebrate the gay lifestyle, should we celebrate the other lifestyles too?

IMO gays are ‘born that way’ the same way anyone with any other kind of mental disorder is born that way.

Who cares? They make up 2.8% of the population.

Gays will attack this mercilessly. If homosexuality is a choice, then it can be overcome with psychotherapy.

I have had conversation about this with idiots, er I mean liberals. The same argument is “i think they are missing some chromosomes”. Always the stupid chromosome talking point.

But Lady GaGa had a big hit entitled “Born This Way.” It must be true. She wouldn’t lie would she? (big dose of sarcasm).

It’s an irrelevant and stupid question. It’s fairly clear that some forms of psychopathy are congenial, but that doesn’t mean that the behaviors they predispose the bearers of those genes to — lying, cheating, using other people, and even murder — are not wicked sins.

The notion that it matters whether a predisposition toward a particular sin is genetic represents a failure of moral understanding, particularly when the conclusion drawn is based on the assumption that anything toward which there is a congenital predisposition cannot be a sin. Rather misses the whole point of the doctrine of Ancestral Sin (or the darker version held in the West called Original Sin). We’re all born with disordered passions, and thus a predisposition to sin, which particular sins varies from person to person.

I care. That same 2.8% bully the rest of the nation. I know you love the homos and accept them but the rest of us don’t want any part of this.

According to the CDC 1.6 percent of adults self-identify as gay or lesbian, and 0.7 percent consider themselves bisexual.

These are "zebra" and "unicorn" numbers. (Noisy zebras and unicorns, but there aren't a lot of them around. Maybe "howler monkeys" is a better comparison.)

Agree it’s a sickness. A mental disorder.

IF gays are “born that way” then it is an infinitesimal amount of births, and the rest of the minority of all minorities are forced converts at the hands of those allegedly “born that way”.

Protect the children from either.

UGH!
Yes, have had similar conversations with idiots as well.
Or they insist that a “gay gene” has been found yet cannot point to where such was published.
