RE: These types are confused, self-indulgent, mis-informed, and mis-adjusted to reality
This I am inclined to agree with as well. My personal feeling (and it is not a scientific observation, just anecdotal) is we have a tendency to be INFLUENCED by our environment. Some can resist it, some cannot.
If the environment you find yourself in makes what used to be repugnant “normal”, and you are not well grounded morally, what used to repulse you becomes the new normal and you slowly grow to be “accepting” of it.
If it can happen to wholesome, conservative kids who attend liberal colleges (some of them even being children of Godly pastors), it can happen to anyone else.
Why do you think there is homosexual activism? These people are not satisfied with being left alone... they want INFLUENCE, ACCEPTANCE, CELEBRATION of what they believe is NORMAL.
IMHO, they truly don't believe (in nearly all cases) that their behavior is "normal", but they are caught up in the indoctrination and hype, plus it is nurtured by an Agenda-Driven political party that endeavors to destroy morality/Christianity by actively ENCOURAGING immoral behavior and gaining votes. The same holds true of the welfare-mentality that is nurtured, to create DEPENDENCY on the political Elites, and buy their favor with other people's earnings.
THIS is what the Tea Party is all about; returning to our Roots, and the principles that founded this once-great Nation.
