Quote From: rgdyanneThis is to EVERYONE who claims that GOD made them homosexual or their sons or daughters homosexual or their friends homosexual. That is a LIE!!! It is a lie perpetuated by the ultimate liar, Satan. I don't care if you believe in God or Satan, that doesn't negate the truth of their existance.
But let's just put aside the issue of belief for a moment. Let's put aside the spiritual issues of homosexuality. Why don't we just address the purely physical issues of whether or not being homosexual is natural.
GOD did not make, or create, or cause to be, homosexuals. IF He had He, being GOD, would have been smart enough to equip humans for that purpose. Apparently, this god you claim made you homosexual is pretty stupid. He forgot the anatomy required for this purpose. If men were meant to have sex with men then they would have vaginas, too. If women were meant to have sex with women then they would also have penises. OR, both "sexes" would have the capability of naturally growing/changing the aforementioned parts. And then, we wouldn't have men or women but dual sexual beings equipped with the capability of doing all the things associated with a dually sexual creation. YES, there are naturally occuring creatures who can change their sex this IS how THEY were created, NOT humans. Being homosexual is a psychological and emotional choice to do something that is a perversion of how humans are naturally, NATURALLY, created. (and if you don't like my choice of the word created because that implies a being that would have had to create then use the word evolved, it is still just as applicable.)
Ah, but then you say homosexuality is not about the physical, it's about the emotional attraction towards a same-sexed person. Well, you're wrong. It is not about the emotional attraction to a same-sexed person. Emotional attraction to a person of the same sex is about compatibility and connection which is totally outside the realm of the sexual. I, a heterosexual, have "emotional attraction" to my girlfriends, my mother, my grandmother, my aunts because we have a connection and a bond and a commonality that creates a relationship. This does not mean I want, desire or need them in a sexual manner. Homosexuality, by it's very definition (look it up in the dictionary if you don't believe me) is the SEXUAL attraction to persons of the same sex. So also are the definitions of Gay and Lesbian.
In closing, no one, man or God MADE you homosexual. It is a consious, willful, choice that you made. OWN your decision. TAKE responsibility. QUIT transferring ownership of that choice to others. And, while it IS your right to be treated decently as a human being it IS NOT your right to have your decision universally condoned.
Now I don't want ot b*tch about it oh wait yes I do want to b*tch about it:
You say "But let's just put aside the issue of belief for a moment." and only three lines later you say: "GOD did not make, or create, or cause to be, homosexuals. IF He had He, being GOD, would have been smart enough to equip humans for that purpose."
I'm sorry but to me that is religion, I'm sorry you assume that every one believes in one god of some sort yet that issn't true I'm affraid We've got Buddists, Hindoes, Atheïsts and many more religions that don't believe in one god or god at all.
Anyway back to the issue "God" also forgot to make the humans strong enough to resist the temptation to eat the apple of the tree of knowledge. As a matter of fact he kikked us out of paradise for a mistake he made. not much of a self critic, eh? And then he only made two of everything so that the offspring is forced to have sex with each other also known as "incest" which is illegal in de US and the Netherlands alike
Even better we are, according to the bible sons and daughters of murderers since Cain murdered his brother Abel and then had sex with his mother since Adam and Eve din't have any dauhgters. Personally I find the story of our creation in a supposedly holy book much more disturbing then the suppossed sin of homosexuality.
Even more God has created man in his own image so I'm sorry God would have had homosexual tendensies aswell wouldn't he?
Then you say that man hasn't the equippement to be with one of the same sex. Well I know from relliable sources that gay men an women cope quite well with the equipement they do have. and maybe it wasn't for nothing our pleasure parts of the genetals evolved outside of the human body instead in inside.
Then you speak of the emotional bond but you know the thing with emotional bonds is that they aren´t all of the same cathegorie and not all of the same intensety. I as a man will have an atracction to women in my case yet if I have a daughter I won´t feel physical attraction towards her, if I see my mother I won´t feel a physical atraction towards her, Most women on the street I won´t feel a physical atraction towards them, yet if I have a girlfriend/wife I will feel a physical attraction towards her. That doesn't mean I don't love them I just love them in a different way then a (potential) partner. The same applies to gay people they feel different types of love for each man/woman. And may I remind you that even hate is a form of emotional bond you feel towards one just a negative one.
In you're closing you say that it is not their right to have that decision universally condoned but they have: I quote from the declaration of Human Rights
"(...)
Article 1.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
Article 2.
Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

And yes I know the US didn't sine it but the rest of the free world and much of the less free world did.
(Original Air Date: 10/19/05) Sexual orientation used to be something kept hidden from family and co-workers, but now more and more people are "coming out" and finding acceptance. Anjela says her mother and sister don't support her sexual orientation, and feel she can't be Christian and gay at the same time. Can they reconcile this touchy issue? Then, two men debate whether a person can go from gay to straight, and parents of a 4-year-old boy fear their son's desire to play with dolls and wear heels means he'll grow up to be gay. Are they overreacting to his wishes to be a princess instead of a prince? Talk about gender and gay issues here.
