Quote From: terrycPlease don't be ignorant. We've known - scientifically, undeniably - for over twenty years that homosexuality is genetic. Any good biologist can stand in front of a diagram of the human brain with a pointer and show you the exact section of the exact lobe that determines sexual orientation. Further, we even know that it's determined in the first trimester of gestation - when that portion of the brain is developed.
Yes, Virginia, we can track it that specifically.
To continue to challenge whether it's genetic or not is to simply stand with your head buried deep in the sand.
Before you hear the truth, you can claim "Ignorance". Once you have been told the truth, you can no longer claim ignorance. Refusing to accept fact, after that, is called stupidity. And I KNOW you're not stupid.
It's so interesting, too... Another thing we know from study after study after study, is that the people who argue against the acceptability/normalcy of homosexuality the loudest and most vociferously, are the people who are the most conflicted about their OWN sexuality.
(Though often, of course, they're not even aware of their own internal conflict - it often goes on just under the surface, until they're at a place emotionally and psychologically where they're equipped to take an honest look at it. Sadly, for some, this never occurs, and they spend their entire lives fighting a terrible internal struggle that they cannot possibly win.)
We choose how we act and with whom we act out sexually... But we definitely don't choose who we're attracted to at the basest of levels - it occurs without our effort or consent. Any thinking person can understand this very basic concept. Only persons with this terrible unconscious internal struggle continue to need to find some sort of "religious rationale" to disuage and justify their own internal conflict.
I disagree that all homosexuals choice of sexuality is genetic!
In fact it has not been proven so scientifically and therefore should not be hypothesized as so!
As well if you refer to the post mortum tests of deceased male homosexuals you would find that a part of the brain failed to develop properly! In other words it would be consistent with a brain abnormality!
Neither do these findings hold up as well, because they were done only on males and on males who had died from aids!
I find it sad that our medical and psychological communities have been so accepting of an unproven precept!
I believe people become homosexual for a myriad of reasons! And because of that we should not label it as they are just born that way! The fact of bi-sexuality blows that idea completely out of the water!
Not to mention it is my experience with at least a dozen women I've known, had ALL been sexually abused by a man at one point in their lives! That their identiies and precepts of men were tied to these experiences was without question!
I think it sad that the gay community became so militant they left no opening for themselves even to understand their sexuality better! As well by their militance have invited people into their cause that have severe mental problems that are not gay, not happy and that the lifestyle they have adopted has become a way of escapism and rejection.
Yes I do follow Christ!
Regarding the commandments!
For those who say they follow Christ they must remember the first commandment the Father who is one with Jesus made to mankind!
Go forth and multiply.
The homosexual lifestyle does not fulfill what mankind was created for. Therefore it in no way complies with what the creator intended for man!
In fact in animal species homosexuality is a form of natural selection!
If you follow Jesus then you know that he said that all the other commandments rested on the first commandment and after that he would add that you love one another!
I choose to do both.....therefore I do not condemn! But neither do I condone!
However no one can tell me they love the Lord with all their heart, mind and spirit and can still continue to live backwards to the direction the Farther has intended for them! They are lying to my but most of all to themselves! And I would challenge them to ask the holy spirit to enter them and tell them the truthe of these things!
Other than that may the Love of Christ cover them!
Peace and blessings

(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.
