The problem began when they accepted homosexuals into the priesthood and then allowed them to marry someone of the same sex. That was their first mistake. The church brought this dilemma on themselves and I honestly don't care how they solve the problem. Chances are, they don't view it as a problem at all!

It is so odd. Anything but heterosexuality is a choice. Why would anyone CHOOSE that? It would mean no children, other than adopted ones or artificially inseminated ones.

Yes the church did bring it on itself. I guess the problem will continue to be a thorn in its side, unsolved.
SUCH a shame.

Behaviors are complex. One of the factors is God’s design of imprinting. He designed it for good, for us to have good fathers and mothers to imprint on, but man has perverted it.

ALWAYS in your discussion bring out the fact that homosexuality is a BEHAVIOUR. Then a discussion of properness of that behaviors and finally a discussion of causes. “They” will always want to begin the discussion that they didn’t choose, don’t let them.

Why would anyone CHOOSE that?

I've been in a quandary about this; I've read articles claiming it is a choice and others that say it is not. I lean to believing that people are not born with this aberration.

Could it be true that environmental factors, even from an early age, may be the cause? That wouldn't necessarily point to a conscious choice.

Although we read that homosexuals make up a very small part of the population, in recent years too many of them try to push their unnatural lifestyle on others. As a result, I think they may be influencing our young people to view their same-sex partnerships as just "different" but equally acceptable as heterosexual relationships.

That is so false and tells us a lot about their shame and insecurity. Yes, it is sad.
