He’s right, but, like alcoholism, not all treatment cures the patient.
In reading other articles, it appeared that Gov Perry was thinking of alcoholism having a claimed genetic link and comparing that to homosexuality which also claims a genetic link. As with homosexuality, the link is very weak if it’s even there....personally, I don’t think it’s there.
Perry, though, makes a good point: an alcoholic doesn’t have to act it out. He can say no to a destructive behavior.
My sense is that it takes real guts for Perry to say this.
He would make an infinitely better president than Obama, Hillary, any other democrat, and most republicans.
You have to WANT to seek treatment...
The mechanics of homosexuality are just too much for me to try and excuse, but I can only see this as a battle against conventional relationships, a mental condition (comfort zone) in which some people have personal sexual preferences as a form of rebellion against authority...
And have basically withdrawn into a collective movement which wants to justify (and fund) its rebellion by forcing government to write off on their immoral behavior...
And by succeeding in doing that, no one will be able to fight back against them, when the government makes that fight illegal, with punishment by fines, prison time...
And (as an added bonus) manipulating private corporate cultures into being open in company policies to defend it and make people sign employment agreements to not discriminate, or manipulate hiring of people of a personal sexual preference...etc etc etc...
Which is what some companies are doing already...
I see the IRS amending tax codes to fine companies, and audit them for homosexual hiring compliance...
Not to mention additional Federal regulations being very clear in those efforts...Much more than many other regulations we’ve heard about coming down the pipe in recent years...
