Rick Santorum: I've met people who are no longer gay
Politico ^ | 07/23/2015 | Nick Gass

Posted on 07/23/2015 9:28:41 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Rick Santorum and MSNBC host Rachel Maddow clashed over gay rights issues on her show Wednesday night, and the Republican presidential candidate offered an apology of sorts for a remark he made a dozen years ago.

If people are born gay or transgender, Santorum posited, “it leads to a whole bunch of other situations,” like sex-selective abortions, for example.

“So if you can determine whether one of your children is gay, should we pass a law saying you can’t abort a child because you found out that child’s going to be gay? You can’t abort a child because you found out that child was going to be a woman? How would you feel about a law like that?” he asked Maddow.

Asked whether believed being gay is a choice, Santorum said he has never answered the question because he does not really know the answer.

“There are people who are alive today who identified themselves as gay and lesbian and who no longer are. That’s true. I do know, I’ve met people in that case. So I guess maybe in that case, maybe they did,” he said, adding that he does “know people who have lived the gay lifestyle and no longer live it.”

“But I suspect that there’s all sorts of reasons that people end up the way they are. And I’ll sort of leave it at that,” he said.

An apology? Santorum, love ya, but don’t be a serial apologizer, especially when you said nothing wrong.

St. Paul disagrees.

"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals , nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God”

( 1 CORINTHIANS 6:9-11 )

Did you speak to any of those who claim that they have? If not, then you’re being too sure.

Simple question...do bi sexual exist...yes... so they have a choice of straight or gay We are talking about the mind and anyone cal like or unlike any thing.. and it can change over time The question is not what you want or do not want...its what logical or illogical by nature....

Heterosexual is a logical natural desire by the nature of physical biology....

Gay is as illogical as necromancy..

There are people that want to screw the dead...is that a rational impulse?..

And the actress Anne Heche. She claimed to be lesbian when she was going with Ellen de Generes. Eventually she married a man.

So these are at least two examples of famous people who at one time claimed to be homosexual, then changed their minds.

To paraphrase the writer Barry Hannah: Maybe after 40,000 rest-stops the taste begins to go on you!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innate_bisexuality

Innate bisexuality (or predisposition to bisexuality) is a term introduced by Sigmund Freud (based on work by his associate Wilhelm Fliess), that expounds all humans are born bisexual but through psychological development (which includes both external and internal factors) most become monosexual while the bisexuality remains in a latent state

Race? Choose what you want to be.
Gender? Choose what you want to be.

Orientation? Totally born that way.

Who believes that? Not Anne Heche.

Actress Ann Heche, former girlfriend of Ellen Degeneres.

Heche has stated that all of her ensuing romantic relationships have been with men.

And children too. They are no less sick and deviant than is a faggot.

And the faggots all know it, hence the hysterical ire when challenged.

This guy just doesn’t get it. He gets sidetracked into these issues that allow the media to bash his head in instead of focusing on what motivates voters. He should pay attention to Trump.

What is he doing going on that show? What does he possibly think he will achieve?

To me, this shows a lack of judgement.

I wish they call these people what they really are - homosexuals. There's nothing gay about being homosexual and we shouldn't go along with them hijacking our words and the symbol of God's covenant.

The point is the left wants to say all desires or impules are valid between consenting adults.

But are all desires or impulse logical and or rational?

And are all desires necessary for continuation of existence?

The left states all desires are valid if it does not harm other...really?

A desire being valid.... is not a desire being logical/rational.... is not a desire being necessary...

The left demand the we validate ever want of ever person...by the state servicing and all people confessing the illogical and irrational and unnecessary.is logical rational and necessary....
