Quote From: tdeets870I will never truly understand why people say that being gay is heritary; I say (and strongly believe) that it's a choice. Now as for this young lady who is stating that she's gay and a Christian is like saying that oil and water do mix. Her parents should still love her dispite this, and if they are also Christians (I hope born-again Christians), they should know that Jesus wants them to do just that. I will be praying that this young lady will understand that she is ripping Jesus' heart into pieces with her choice of homosexuality, yet He will still keep on loving her. I strongly believe that homosexuality is a sin and that this young lady needs to repent and change her ways. If she's been hiding these feelings for a long time, they have more than likely taken deep roots and will take a long time to transplant. If this is so, she should get some good, Christian counseling (preferrably within her church) and start the long process of reteaching herself and retraining her thoughts. If there is one thing that I'd like to say to her it would be that God still loves her. He doesn't like her choices, but He loves her nonetheless. That's why He sent Jesus to earth, to live among, and to die for our sins. That's why this is going to be a topic that will generate a lot of talking.

Sounds an awful lot like brainwashing to me... in fact, having undergone that prescribed path once before, I know it doesn't just SOUND like brainwashing. God in heaven knew what he was doing when he made homosexuals, and He isnt swooping down to fix his little "mess-ups" Trying to force "change" on a gay person only does serious pyschological damage, is ineffective, and causes further harm down the road when the person tries marrying and having kids, and realizes nothing has "changed."
