I think one of the problems the left has on this issue is that it requires them to admit that there are sexual practices that are always wrong.
"I think one of the problems the left has on this issue is that it requires them to admit that there are sexual practices that are always wrong."
Worse yet...
According to the left, Gays and Lesbians are "born this way", and therefore their sexual conduct is okay. Any bias against them is therefore a civil rights issue. Any hint that they can change is decried as somehow barbarian or bigoted.
If that is true, then pedophiles are "born this way" too. It follows that their behavior is okay because that's the way God made them. And, any idea of changing them is hopelessly ignorant.
So, the left must figure out if "born this way" is really a moral justificaiton for sexual behavior, and/or if sexual impluses can be modified. If the answer is no, they need to decide that such people need to be jailed forever (or executed).
