One can not elect to be homosexual or not. Either one is or one is not. In my opinion the sexual orientation is something one is born with.

I feel very sorry for those youngsters that is raised in a religious environment, that discovers that they are homosexual. They are in all aspects normal human beings, unavoidably 'afflicted' with a different sex orientation. An orientation that according to the church make them and their activities abnormal, morally wrong and generally less worthy. For gay people that truly believe in God and all that, it must be a disaster to be looked upon like a outcast because of something that does not hurt anybody else and they can not be blamed for in the first place.

For gay people that are lucky enough to not believe, like original poster say - they would be better off to take the ideas of the Bible more calmly.

Besides that - what IROC Mike say makes sense to me (usually does).
