---Personal opinion---
Homosexuality is not a choice, but even if it were that wouldn't make it immoral. It is only important to realize that homosexuality is NOT a choice because religious people say that gay people can CHOOSE their orientation. This video offers a neat scientific analysis of why that's wrong.

Those who say that homosexuality is "unnatural; therefore, wrong" are guilty of 'naturalistic fallacy' ala G. E. Moore. This is because whether something is 'natural' or 'unnatural' is irrelevant to whether it is moral or not.

Cannibalism, rape, genocide, and tribalism may be 'natural', but they aren't also GOOD for that reason. Books, shoes, and civilization may be 'unnatural', but they aren't therefore BAD.

Hello, I'm a Christian who is a ministry student at Liberty University and doesn't believe that anyone should try to outlaw homosexual marriage, doesn't believe that homosexuality is necessarily a choice, and while I don't believe that it's irreversible, I also don't believe that it's a sickness to be healed. "Gay Ministries" aren't needed, just Christians who accept everyone like Jesus did instead of judging everyone like the Pharisees did. It's sad that I'm in the minority.

@jconstant1 Thanks for your comment! More thoughtful Christians like you speaking out would be a wonderful thing. I wonder if we can talk more in some other forum. I'd be interested in getting more of your thoughts...

[midnightdeath2]

so what happens if they came up with a medicine to "cure" homosexuality?

[mavaddat]

@midnightdeath2 What do you mean "what happens"? What happens about what? To whom? By whom?

[mavaddat]

@bddc201 No one is saying that "it feels good" validates anything. Only you are obsessed with that argument.

Homosexual tendencies occur in 500 non-human species. You are ignorant of biology.

Gay people DON'T usually perform anal penetration. Many straight people do. So how can all gay relationships be wrong?

If you're so concerned with unsafe behaviour, you should be against all people engaging in any unsafe behaviour. But you don't care about unsafe sexual practices of straight people?

This cartoon was realistic until the end when the Christian guy's response wasn't "lalalala JESUS IS TEH ANSWER TO EVERYTING! lalala SCIENTISTS ARE UNGODLY HEATHENS WHO MAKE UP LIES TO BASH THE SAVIOR!!!"

Right ask God to change you whether you are gay or straight that form of sin is fornication, lust of the human flesh stop it before it is to late and make it right with God. If you believe it is in your genes accept Jesus his blood will wash your sinful genes away and make you whiter than snow. There is more to life than just sex/ lust. He is coming back for his people those who love him by keeping his commandments .accepted his son and walk in his ways.

[Necy86]

WWJD Whether you believe it to be a choice or not the point is what do you believe in. Two type of people in this world either children of God or children of the world (Satan). Jesus probably would say I love you but I hate sins that why I died for you if you accept me it is your choice then you will be forgiving to receive everlasting life, go and sin no more but if you reject me you will fall deeper into sin to the point where you will

Convince yourself that the things that you are doing is r

@midnightdeath2 I would hope they are working first on a cure for stupidity.
