Same sex Attration disorder? Come on, man it is homosexuality. Homosexuality been around for a long time, it isn't a new 'disorder'. Not sure of when you were in high school, but the GOVERNMENTAL SCHOOLS are not what it was in the late 70s/early 80s when my parents were in school.
A couple of weeks ago, an idiot highschooler got decapitated on a rollercoster. He was trying to get back a hat and a cell phone he lost on the ride, and no doubt it seemed reasonable to him to climb over two fences and walk past a "no admittance" sign todo so. There were warnings in place that his behavior would put him in danger, which he ignored, and tragiclly, he paid a price.
I heard about that kid. To me, if I lost my hat and my cell phone - I would have gone to the ride operator and tell them that it was there. I wouldn't got and do what Mr. Rollercoaster did.
God disapproved of the choices they were making,
Now, I got to disagree with that. my church says GOD loves everyone - so why would GOD disapprove on it. I guess the only way to know is when we die and ask GOD then. I believe GOD loves all (except MUSLIM TERRORISTS!).
I watched these friends go from being sons, brothers, students, poets, writers, and athletes who chose homosexual behavior into individuals whose sexuality defined every facet of their lives. The lifestyle grew and grew until it encompassed everything they were, coloring every part of their lives...like any addiction does.
Now, I hope my gay friends won't do that. Sometimes when we see GAY PRIDE PARADES being shown on TV - with these morons (guys in THONGS, Guys dressed up as nuns and women who looked like they could play LINEBACKER for the NFL Pats) - and my friends are turned off by them. They aren't what I would call them the SPOKESPEOPLE of the gay movement - just like I wouldn't call a leader of the KKK the spokesman of white people.
I do understand what you are saying. I just wish that both Larry and Brandon could have discuss it. Ithink Larry getting killed was TRAGIC but Brandon - if he was confused by his sexuality (and teens are!) needed to talk to someone about his feelings.
I believe that if parents don't discuss it - then schools should. I believe schools should have Gay straight clubs, because maybe if EO Green had it, both lives wouldn't be ruined! I still believe that parents should talk to their kids and the kidshould be able to discuss it with their parents. And if a kid is gay - they shouldn't be kicked out of the house. I read that a few kids were in a sex ring - and they were kicked out of their homes for being gay. I'm glad my friends' parents didn't kick them out.
“Brandon - if he was confused by his sexuality (and teens are!) needed to talk to someone about his feelings.”
It seems he had plenty of people in the administration that were delighted with his behavior.

Your church is teaching correctly in that God DOES love everyone. BUT, God specifically says in the Bible that he cannot and will not abide sin. He also says that homosexuality is a sin.
You should understand that God, in his infinite wisdom, has allowed mankind to separate themselves from him. Man's sin is the instrument of that separation. If homosexuals are allowed to bypass the biblical prohibition on their sin (and the personal debt to be paid in the afterlife), then lying, adultery, and even murder are just as acceptable in God's eyes.
From your previous posts, I assume you agree that murder is absolutely wrong. From a biblical perspective, so is homosexuality.
When including another poster's comments and replying to them in the same posting, try to italicize the original comments and leave yours in plain text.
Do it like this...
Enter in the italics marker before and after the other person's comments, and close with a paragraph:
<i> Watch it with the "you people" generalizations. </i> <p>
Which will look like this when you post it:
Watch it with the "you people" generalizations.
