First thing I want to mention is the whole 'I was born gay' thing. I can't really see this as realistic either from a scientific standpoint or a religious one. science first: the thing that is most damning are the multiple Identical twin studies done. there have been so many where one twin is gay and the other is not. From a religious viewpoint it doesn't work either. If God says that Homosexuality is wrong, and then goes and creates people that have a genetic compulsion to sin, he is no longer God, but simply a powerful, sadistic being. I have talked to former homosexuals who have changed their lifestyle, and to psychologists who say that there are several things that can influence sexual preference. A single parent home or a disaproving/hating parent can create a desire/need for approval and love from a member of that sex, if the same sex as the person they may easily look for that in a sexual relationship.
On to my personal opinion. Be forewarned, I am a practicing Xtian, and rather conservative, but with some different opinions.
Primus, I think that homosexuality is a sin. It is wrong, and God doesn't like it. That is because he is GOD. Sin/wrongdoing/Evil is anathema to Him. I think that relativity of sin is a purely human invention. in God's eyes there is no difference between say stealing a candy bar from the local WalMart and in killing someone. Next, I too am a sinner. Maybe I have never had sex with another guy, but I have lied. I have never killed a man, but I have stolen someone else's property. and that is just as bad. I won't tell a homosexual that he is Evil, and damned, for being gay. I am as much of a sinner in my own way as him. I will tell him what I think of his actions, and I will make sure he understands my position on the issue, and I will expect him to call me on MY wrongdoings.
I'll stop here for now.
