Whoa Patriots. Let’s take a step back and refocus.

I always ask people like you: Who would choose to be gay if they were not?

Being born homosexual is no different than being born with a congenital disease or missing an arm. Something went terribly wrong in the womb.

The Catholic Church does not condemn homosexuality. How could it? The person was born that way. The Catholic Church does condemn homosexual acts. That is why it is possible to be both Catholic and homosexual.

I never said homosexual behavior should be given a pass. However, as long as the behavior is kept in the bedroom I don’t see it as any of my business. God is the judge, not me.

I do take great exception to the Gay Pride Day twits that make public asses of themselves and try to tear down the sacrament of matrimony. Despite the media’s fascination and coverage of their antics, this crowd is really a small percent of the homsexual population, And, of course, crimes committed by gay people should be prosecuted—just like crimes committed by hetero folks.

Can you at least agree that gays are God’s children, too?

If none of this makes any sense to you, then I wish you well in your role as God.

Who would choose to be a drug addict if they were not? And yet, people who are not drug addicts do choose to become drug addicts through a series of choices.

This guy is choosing to resist his temptations, and that's good. But the only way he was "born that way" is the same way a drug addict is "born that way".

We are all born with a fallen nature. We shouldn't be going about trumpeting what our particular temptation is and how great we are for resisting it.
