"Wonderful Husband. Loving Father. Former Homosexual. Jesus Christ Changes Lives."
So read the billboards sponsored by Stephen Bennett, the head of a Christian family advocacy group based in Huntingdon, Connecticut. The ad, part of a nationwide campaign last year opposed to same-sex marriage, features a large photo of Bennett with his lovely wife and two children.
Some advertising companies refused to accept Bennetts ads because of their "controversial content." Wherever the ads were posted, gay rights activists rose up in anger to protest the very idea that homosexuals can change, or even should want to.
But Bennett is one of thousands of practicing homosexuals who has reversed his sexual orientation and found fulfillment in heterosexual marriage. His message is simple: unhappy gays do have hope because real change is possible.
Why do the radical gay activists resent Bennetts message so much? Because it clearly refutes the urban myth they have so carefully crafted: the lie that about 10 percent of the population is "born gay" and simply cant help it. Many today are being taught to believe that homosexuality is a genetic condition, like skin or eye color. This deception has been nurtured over the years by the pro-homosexual major media. But like other urban myths, this is a lie. (To learn more about how this myth got started, go to http://www.narth.com/docs/istheregene.html ) . . . . .

I have an acquaintance who has been married, has children, is a grandfather and who chooses to live in a homosexual manner.....that is, unless females are the only option open.
I by no means approve of this, but follow the maxim "hate the sin, love the sinner". I merely point it out as a case of homosexuality by CHOICE rather than genetics.
No matter what the militant homosexuals think, wish, hope and pray, the answer will always be NO.
Actually, there are quite a few gay johns out there. I just wish they would post a sign on the door.
Can't refute that. I guess there is a gay Gene.
Honestly, I have a feeling that sexual identity and preference can have a PHYSICAL component, not neccessarily genetic. I feel there are probably some people who exist somewhere on a sexual preference continuum, between hardcore hetero's and homo's. Maybe something in their physical makeup makes them a bit more prone than the other person to become gay. My first gay friend just LOOKED the part, and this was way before he came out of the closet, I suspect he had hormonal imbalances.
At best, I see homosexuality as a kind of birth defect, at worst, a cynical choice. But lets say it is a birth defect, do we have people doing "Thalidimide Pride" day?
Myself, I think it is up to us to figure out what Gods wants us to do with our lives, obey his natural order and follow it.
And if you can't figure out you don't feed the back end of a mule, then you got some praying to do to help you figure it out.
Boy that is a gay Gene. However, it does not look like he's been getting any exercise. I bet the last gym he was in moved to Miami.
Or that HBO film, But I Was A Cheerleader, in which a repressive society tries to reprogram homosexuals but the young girl of course finds gay happiness with her lover.
Sex and The City in which of course Samantha just had to have a torrid lesbian affair. Clearly a choice and she eventually went back to men.
Dream On, in which the lead (as in about every other tv series) discovers his straight arrow dad was always gay and leaves the mother to take on a gay lover.
The list is endless. By the way, Chen is scorchingly hot in the Heche film. Not that men have a history of enjoying seeing women in lesbian couplings - they do. So the whole lesbian agenda thing insidiously appeals to straight men on certain levels.
Does a "Gay Gene" Really Exist?
Usually they change their name to something less masculine.
If I recall correctly, I have seen studies indicating that about 30% of gay men were unwilling victims of homosexual pedophilia. If there is a "gay gene", these guys didn't inherit it; it was "learned."
My favorite Fox and Frieds quote:
"You fix one pipe, it don't make you a plumber". (In response to "does one gay experience make you gay?)
I was a prosecutor for 18 years; had the opportunity to prosecute lots of people for a variety of criminal behavior, petty and serious. Some defendants were openly homosexual. From my personal, and admittedly anecdotal experience, I found that all of them exhibited some sort of personality disorder totally separate and distinct from whatever sexual practices they indulged in. FWIW.
And a Gay Gene, if it existed, naturally would select against reproduction.
If the purpose of segregated bathrooms is to avoid unwanted sexual interest and yet gay men use the men's-room, I just want equal time in the ladies' room.
The problem with reproduction being something the gays are actively overcoming with adoption, surrogates and eventually cloning. I happen to think any chance of disfavoring the gay life style was lost when courts permitted hundreds of thousands of gay couples to adopt children. Without scientific investigation, and without gay marriage as a foundation, they just created these gay families. There is no way society can now view gays negatively because many children are being raised by them. Just another example of our courts at work changing our society.
Well, there's a "truck gene," isn't there?
Ah, heck. I dunno.
LOL -I beg to differ. A portion of society just voiced their politically incorrect yet politically dominant view during the recent election...
