Whatever You Believe About Homosexuality, Say It Kindly
North Star Writers Group ^ | November 25, 2008 | Nathaniel Shockey

When I asked people why or why not they thought homosexuality was a choice, I asked for specificity and examples, so unless it was especially funny or insightful, I included only the best of the feedback that stayed within the guidelines. Let’s get to it.

“Every truly gay friend I’ve ever had believes he was born that way. They say they knew as early as they could remember that it was same-sex people who made their hearts beat faster.”

“I think you’re born that way. Too many kids I knew growing up came out of the closet when they left my hometown. None of them surprised me. They were effeminate as children.”

“It’s definitely something you’re born with. I grew up in a private Christian school attached to a Christian church in a bubble basically and there was this kid that was off. Years later I ran into this same kid at a bar and knew exactly why he acted the way he did when we were growing up.”

“When my friend’s nephew could barely speak (maybe a year and a half old) he would say he was a girl and not a boy. For his second Christmas he wanted a Beauty and the Beast magic mirror. He ran around the house in women’s shoes and nighties. He is now 18 and gay as he could possibly be. This kid was born gay.”

That response followed the guidelines and was funny.

>>Once, it was “the love that dare not speak it’s name.” Now, it’s the love that won’t shut the hell up. <<

That’s so sad.

In our case, I’ve taken over the roll of Grandma for the kids so it’s kind of okay and I would move heaven and earth for them.

She is basically alone except for the girlfriend.

The “normalization” you speak of, is in place to better establish adults, in a position to prey on our children.

She will never see that as having been her choice. She will believe it was a choice forced on her by others and their "hateful" opinions. It is sad.

I’ve found the testimony of ex-gay folks immensely valuable psychologically....because they are in a good position to know what they were thinking at the time and also what was fundamentally flawed about it (which, of course, most currently homosexual people are largely blind to).

My little hypothesis is as follows, at least for males. Boys grow up for one reason or another estranged from other boys—either as a result of molestation, or family problems, teasing, or sensitive personalities, what have you. When the rest of us went through a phase where “girls are icky”, they found themselves identifying with girls and not with other boys. Then, at puberty, this feeling of estrangement and otherness toward other boys is improperly sexualized, with all the symptoms that we normally have toward girls (crushes, heart palpitations, etc.).

The homosexual person sees this as a continuity between his childhood and his adulthood—thus “I was born gay” and “I was gay as long as I can remember”. But that’s hogwash, because sexuality doesn’t awaken in *anyone* till adolescence. They may have felt different, but the mistake is in identifying that difference as a protosexual attraction to men.

Wait, I don’t want you to think that I’m saying it’s a good thing. It’s a societal thing. Please understand that.

You are absolutely correct.
She sent a note to her middle son who has basically avoided her, laying on a thick layer of guilt and begging him to call her. His wife (who is the most Christian woman I know) said that she and the kids (6 & 4) could see “Grandma” but not with her girlfriend.

The son called her and told her this. Mom hung up.

I do the same, but getting them to leave US alone is another matter.

How sad. She will weep and insist that she’s being treated badly and hated all the while refusing to see it’s by her choice. Gays will not bend one iota, they will not meet anyone halfway. Their selfishness demands all or nothing. But it’s everyone elses fault. People in general can be so blinded by “me”. Accept my sin or you hate me.

Male and female He made them. After that, everyone makes choices as to sexual activity - who, what, how, where, how often, etc.

Molestation, troubled relationships with their father, or overbearing mother, at least for male homsexuality. Anyone says that being “born that way” is lying.

While there are undoubtably some that are born with urges, the vast majority are not. Well over 90% of admitted gay men admit to sex at least once with a woman so, so much for women can’t do it for me argument. And more than 90% of admittedly gay men admit that their first voluntary gay encounter happened only after they got good and drunk.

You don’t need to get drunk first to do something you believe and know in your heart you are meant to do. Sorry, but its a complete load, no pun intended, that homosexuality is not by and large nothing more than a psychological disorder.

Homosexuality, particularly male homosexuality is nothing more than a psychological disorder, and narcicism is one of its many outward symptoms.

What I know about Homosexual activity is that it is morally wrong, morally repulsive, against the law of nature, historically wrong and until the left in this nation got its way, was a crime (for 95 percent of recorded history).
And as an American that dedends the US Constitution and the First Admendment I will say this just as I have here. The homosexualmafia and the enabling left can pound sand which should only serve to make them happy.

We had a dear friend who had left that lifestyle behind. He married, became a pastor and they adopted 3 needy children. We didn’t hear from him for 5 years and my hubby found a gay profile for our friend on Aol and we contacted him. His wife had taken his kids and left him and he had been kicked out of his church. And he had Aids. He was still “cruising” and not telling his partners that he was infected. He died 2 years ago, reviling his church for not helping him. None of it was his fault. I guess it’s more than just selfishness, it’s also the immaturity of a childish point of view.
