Sionnsar,
Thanks for a very thought-provoking post. He lost me when he got to the nature vs nurture argument. Just because we are "born" a certain way does not legitimate it. We are born with the propensity to sin--that doesn't excuse it. I would argue that homosexuals are indeed "born that way," but also that that orientation is the result of Adam's sin introducing sickness and death to us all. Adam and Eve, who were made perfect, were not "born' homosexual. After the fall, however, we have those who are "born that way," just as we are all born with proclivities to sin.
