"Sorry, but I completely disagree. It may be against the teachings of the bible for people to be gay, but plenty of Christians are homosexual. I have an uncle who is Christian and gay, and he doesn't seem to have any problems. My whole family accepts him, and everything is good."
Are you sure they're Christians? What do you define as a Christian?(I know I'm being picky here, lol) Is it a person who follows the teachings of Christ? Isn't the very nature of Christianity is that it transforms people to live like Jesus Christ? Isn't it a direct contradiction of God's word? "It may also be that people become homosexual while in the womb, because they are introduced to different hormones at different times with different concentrations. That might explain why there is a range of how homosexual people really are, with straight being at one end, homosexual at the other, and bisexual in the middle." 1) No researcher has found provable biological or genitic differences between heterosexuals and homosexuals that weren't caused by their behavior Occasionally you may read about a scientific study that suggests that homosexuality is an inherited tendency, but such studies have usually been discounted after careful scrutiny or attempts at replication. No one has found a single heredible genetic, hormonal or physical difference between heterosexuals and homosexuals - at least none that is replicable. While the absence of such a discovery doesn't prove at inherited sexual tendencies aren't possible, it suggests that none has been found because none exists. 2) People tend to believe that their sexual desires and behaviors are learned Two large studies asked homosexual respondents to explain the origins of their desires and behaviors - how they "got that way." The first of these studies was conducted by Kinsey in the 1940s and involved 1700 homosexuals. The second, in 1970, involved 979 homosexuals. Both were conducted prior to the period when the "gay rights" movement started to politicize the issue of homosexual origins. Both reported essentially the same findings: Homosexuals overwhelmingly believed their feelings and behavior were the result of social or environmental influences. In a 1983 study conducted by the Family Research Instituteinvolving a random sample of 147 homosexuals, 35% said their sexual desires were hereditary. Interestingly, almost 80% of the 3,400 heterosexuals in the same study said that their preferences and behavior were learned.
I'll be honest. This isn't in my own words. (Copy and Paste, lol) But I was trying to use some ethos here.
