They want us to believe their immoral and sinful lifestyle is ok and that they are born gay or that is an acceptable alternative. I know you know what I'm saying, because it does make sense, right?
What "immoral and sinful lifestyle" is this? Taking holy vows? Studying to be a minister? Working at a newspaper, and putting in long hours trying to make sure the paper is free from typos?
Here's the thing: Fifty years ago, good Christians raised their kids to know that interracial marriage was wrong, immoral, and sinful. A hundred and fifty years ago, they raised their kids to know that trying to free slaves was wrong, immoral, and sinful.
How many suicides would you be willing to have your children cause, as they tell people that the physical qualities their bodies were born with are "wrong, immoral, and sinful"? How *SURE* are you that what you're talking about is God's eternal and infinitely loving Word, not, say, a misunderstanding or a cultural phenomenon? Christianity, as a whole, has been *DISASTEROUSLY* wrong on moral issues before... So, you owe it to yourself to be *very* careful before you describe something as "wrong, immoral, and sinful". Who's being hurt? Who's not being loved? Can you, without *ASSUMING* your conclusion, show me who is inherently being rejected or unloved when two people who happen to be of the same sex fall in love and commit to a lifelong relationship? I can show you who's being rejected and unloved when you tell people that their body's inherent qualities are "immoral, wrong, and sinful".
What you're saying does not, in fact, make any sense. It implies that people are *choosing* a condition which can be detected in them long before the question has even been considered, and which, in general, causes them untold misery. This is a silly conclusion, and makes no sense at all.
