There is no such …
There is no such thing as “unnatural” in the “natural” universe. Anything that is unnatural only exists in the minds of human beings. Fairy tales, Science fiction etc.

Gay people DO NOT CHOOSE their lifestyle WILLINGLY.

You’re right though: Children are not born gay. But they aren’t born to like the opposite sex either until they come into age of puberty. You didn’t choose to have an attraction to the opposite sex. Its just simply how your sex drive functions.

News Flash: Gay …
News Flash: Gay Marriage is the only political issue black conservative figureheads have addressed in the last ten years!

Meanwhile, in the African-American community only 31% of all blacks get married, and 70% of all children are born to single unwed-mothers!

Black religious conservatives should be ashamed of themselves. Instead of worrying about gays, they need to take a hard look in the mirror, and start to worry about the pitiful marriage rate in their own damned community. LOL

Whelan reports that the prospect of harassment and intimidation is so great that Yes on 8’s counsel says “some potential witnesses have indicated that they will not be willing to testify at all if the trial is broadcast or webcast beyond the courthouse.”

Gay people don’t become gay due to “acquired” taste like you seem to believe. If this was true then me (straight guy) would have to have acquired a taste in women based on the logic you just threw at me.

Some of even choose …
Some of even choose to make attractive to us things that are not naturally attractive to us. For instance, smokers. At first they cough and choke. In the last, they suck it in deep and strong and let it simmer in their lungs. Acquired taste.

Same with liquor and hard liquor. Same with hot sauce. Same with gay? I think so.

I have been …
I have been approached by gay men who had intentions. I rejected them. I chose.

If I can choose like that, certainly their decisions to advance are choices also. A choice is a choice, even if we like or dislike the choice set before us. If I love steak and it rests on a plate before me, I am going to LIKE the choice to eat it. If a pile of garbage rests there instead, I am going to choose to complain to the waitress and leave the restaurant. My choice.

We ALL choose our attractions.

I know of many …
I know of many people who got married, had kids, and THEN chose to act on gay decisions. Who knows WHAT they did to actually ruin their marriages like that. Who cares. They chose wrong and ruined lives for a very selfish act/decision.

Happens all the time.

Unlike you, then, I …
Unlike you, then, I have control over my choices. If you want to assume that you don’t have any control over who or what you are attracted to, then that’s your right to be ignorant/stubborn about it. I know for a FACT that I have control over my decisions of what to be attracted to.

For example. I got married. I now CHOOSE to NOT be attracted to other women, and I don’t act on that, AT ALL. I control it. I choose.

Your logic would have such a man just be an adulterer!

We don’t choose attractions. Our body does it for us. Most of us grow up with the attraction to the opposite sex. As an organism, we need to be attracted to the opposite sex in order to survive as a species. However, you (assuming you are straight ) and I can’t choose to be attracted to the same sex because that chemistry doesn’t exist for that to happen.

Its faith. God can strengthen us to overcome temptations, but without His help in this, to get spiritual strength, we will be left to ourselves and in weakness feel like there is nothing we can do about it.

The Lord said:
Ether 12:27 I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.

That’s how.
