I have never understood why men choose men as partners. There is no such thing as a gay-homosexual gene so it’s a choice homosexuals make. What on earth makes them choose same sex unions?
And why is it that women who like women but don’t like men have at least one of them be the husband???
Never could understand that.
The article states that "three of his four children are gay."
Not stated in the article was whether this was three male children of four.. But either way, one has to question what gender-identifying example these children had from their dad...
One thing for sure, it's part of the human condition. It even happens in the animal world sometimes. I must say I have known and cherished several gay friends, men and women. I've concluded that there are two classes:
-- "Gay" folks who subconciously (or consciously!) choose that orientation for shock value or to make a statement (probably happening a lot in today's sad, confused, ignorant and lost youth)
-- Those relative few who are down-deep homosexual, had been even when they were kids and didn't recognize it except gradually, along with friends and family who loved them. I think how that kind of homosexual deals with it is between him/her and God, and my role is to act like a Christian, and look discreetly away when necessary.
Yet as important, I also have a role to defend the right to peacefully turn away and reject if one chooses the prospect of open, celebrated homosexuality in our midst, especially among children. To me, the conservative Christian doesn't seek law outlawing open homosexuality, but rather seeks to curtail law that prevents Christians from quietly, lovingly, refusing to accommodate open, declared homosexuality if they choose.
Limited government Christian conservatism says "Do away with laws punishing the exercise of personal, peaceful Christian values." No law is going to do away with homosexuality -- it's part of being in the human race. The best way to deal with it is just by being Christian.
