It ain’t a lifestyle, believe me.
No one would choose to join the most despised and reviled minority in the world - ever - unless it was in their genes.
Some of us are just born that way.
I’ve got lots of friends in the community, and they can confirm this.
It’s just something some of us have to deal with, and it’d be a lot easier for them to deal with it, if the rest of the world would realize that and try to understand.
Forgiveness is the primary Christian virtue, and I don’t see enough of it some times.
“the most despised and reviled minority in the world”
I really don’t think so. Gay influence in the media, the arts, academia, and Hollywood is total, and guarantees that anyone who publically criticizes homosexuality will be harshly dealt with.
And those who declare that homosexuality is not innate but is something that can be cast off, are the objects of hatred and death threats from the “gay” community.
-Do you believe that pedophiles are born that way?
-Do believe that racists are born that way?
theses are two examples of reviled minorities.
No one would choose a life of being a drug addict. No one would choose being a life of a compulsive gambler. But people do and it is not genetic.
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" (Romans 6:1-2)
"Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace." (Romans 6:12-14)
It is indeed a Christian virtue, and it is worth remembering that while the servants of Christ are imperfect, Christ is always perfect.
I am not sure that gays are the most hated minority in the world. I can think of several others that have it far worse than gays have it.
I’ve heard the same arguement used to defend crackheads.
And If I recall— Jeffrey Dahmer insisted he was only
looking after the welfare of the boys that he recruited and
subsequently murderded.
It is not the place of a Christian to “forgive” a homosexual, as that homosexual has not done anything directly against them..
Only God can forgive that behavior.
It is not love if a Christian says to the homosexual “you may act as you please.”
As far as people not being able to choose their sex partners, because if they could they would never choose homosexuality, is a bunch of bull.
People don’t want to behave in all sorts of ways, but they still manage to do it. No one “wants” to be a jerk, but jerks exist. No one wants to be a “drug addict”, but there are millions of them. I could go on and on.
Dispised, where do you live. They are the High Priests of liberalism and are put on a pedastal.
This proves that they are not born homosexual and are recruited by aggressive homosexuals. Reviled and dispised Please!

Here's how the forgiveness thing works:
The offender realizes the action(s) they have committed are wrong and have violated God's character.
The offender then seeks forgiveness from God by asking for it. That's done by asking that the payment of Jesus Christ on the cross for sins committed by mankind be applied to their sin debt.
The forgiven offender then seeks to avoid the previous pattern of sin, and actively seeks to live as God shows us in the Bible. Turn away from the sin, turn towards God.
Forgiveness isn't just meted out willy-nilly. It's given when it's asked for, because the offender sees their actions as wrong. The principle applies to any sinful act, not just homosexuality.
The most despised and reviled minority in the world are white men.
If you had a TV with cable you'd know that homosexuality is actually celebrated pretty much everywhere the beautiful people meet. They even have their own channel.
