Well said.
It bothers me when people single out homosexuality. It is certainly not *the* only sin.
As for the roots of it, in the abuse recovery forum I mentioned a hitchhiker my mother picked up, who stayed with her as a live-in relationship for two years and who was wholly abusive to our family.
I was 16 at the time and had a 14-year-old brother. He had always dated, and only ever spoke of dating, girls. But he is a sweet and sensitive soul, and he is into artistic crafts such as macramé. Therefore, this abusive man began to make fun of him. Instead of calling him by his name, he began to call my brother Brucie. ("Bruce" at the time was the stereotypical gay name.) I warned the man that his constantly saying it may actually cause it to happen, but of course he scoffed. Who listens to a 16-year-old?
At the age of 19, my brother officially came out.....
After living for two years with a man who persisted in telling him he was gay. I rest my case.
There are those such as hermaphrodites who are "born that way." For this reason I do support civil marriages. I must disagree with those who say, "God made male and female, not in-between." Not true. Hermaphrodites, today called intersexed individuals, do exist. And what are they supposed to do when they want to marry? Take a wife, or take a husband?
But in the case of my brother at least, I would have to say that the evidence shows he was made that way, not born that way.
