1) If someone says "I'm gay. I was born that way. It's what I am." -- I say, "I don't care how you feel -- are you engaging in inappropriate acts?"

3) If someone says, "I engage in inappropriate acts and make no apology for it." -- I say, "Looks like you will not find favor in God's eyes, but that is not for me to say; it's really not my business."
4) If someone says, "I'm a politician and I'm also gay, and --" I'd just stop right there and say, "Skip the unimportant stuff: let's see your voting record. Nothing else matters."

“If someone says, “I’m a politician and I’m also gay, and —” I’d just stop right there and say, “Skip the unimportant stuff: let’s see your voting record. Nothing else matters.”

I’m sorry, but I have to disagree. Same-sex attraction disorder is just that: a disorder. A mental disorder, a psychosexual disorder, and a spiritual disorder.

Disorders cannot be compartmentalized. They slosh over into every other area. Neither the thinking nor the resolve of a person who suffers from SSAD can be trusted.
