Hi FormerLib-

Would you be comfortable with your beautiful daughter or niece marrying an "ex-gay" who previously frequented bathhouses for anonymous sex? Sorry, me neither.

If a man (or woman) realizes the error of their behavior and truly turns their life around are they to be scorned forever because they were once sleazy and promiscuous? I've known more than a few heterosexuals whose behavior was deplorable from a moral perspective. What about them? If you knew that a guy had once been a party animal but had since found God and was now living a good clean life, would they be acceptable?

I have seen this argument before and I find it disingenuous and disturbing as well as a ridiculous oversimplification.

What is the point? That one can never change one's life for the better? Once a sinner always a sinner? There can be no compassion for others?

If you take away the possibility of change, if no one can have the hope of a better life, then we might as well say that the "Gay Agenda" wins. Why fight it? What is the moral good? We are condemning a behavior that people can't change. That is cruel and unjust in the extreme.

I'll say from my experience you can't make general rules about what will make a marriage work or know whether a man will prove himself a worthy husband beforehand.

Question: If your beautiful daughter/niece marries a hard-driving, hard rockin' heterosexual, how does she know that on the day when she is no longer physically beautiful (which inevitably comes), he won't go hunting' for other women? I think it's happened on more than one occasion.
