#1) You're either gay or you're not. The writer states he is a man "who formerly lived as a homosexual." So he starts out either lying or is deluded.

Apparently you haven't been paying attention. The ranks of the ex-gay are expanding greatly as more and more people realize that Same-sex Attraction Disorder (SAD) is simply a curable mental illness similar to all the other sexual addictions. Treat the underlying problem (molestation or a lacking relationship with one's father) and the problem is as easily cured as any other abberant behavior.

There is no such thing as sexual orientation. We are all oriented by genetics to reproduce. Two men cannot reproduce. No genetic evidence supporting homosexual behavior exists. Some people however have become damaged (or if you prefer injured or sick) and cling to a false lifestyle to fill internal needs that haven't been dealt with properly. Fill these needs and the need for the false lifestyle evaporates.

We had a few members of a MCC come to our church a while back for a revival service. They witnessed healings and deliverances and the presence of the Holy Spirit. After the service one of them asked the pastor "why don't we see a move of God like this in our church?" He replied "You already know why". Unfortunately they did know, but they refused to let loose of their sin in order to grab onto God and they will stay 'lost' until they do.

Frankly, I've always seen homosexuality as a dead end by any measure.

Say you are of a judeo-christian persuasion. Both Judaism and Christianity preach against sex outside of marriage in general, and reserve a passage or two for homosexuality in particular.

So you're toast there.

Alright, then, say your a secular-type. Again, homosexuality seems problematic. By any secular standard, an animal's primary duties are to a) survive, and b) breed. Homosexuality is not likely to accomplish B, and with the new and interesting varieties of STD floating about, incluiding AIDS, seems increasingly hostile to A.

So you're toast again.

So please forgive the lack of depth to my argument, but it seems to me that the condition of being attracted to the same sex is either a moral or evolutionary dead end.

And as to Jesus being gay? A lot of times he wasn't even all that cheerful...
