As an orthodox Christian, I believe being homosexual is an active decision made by the individual, and is a sin because the person has a choice in the matter. Science isn’t of much help here, either – I could pull sociological and psychological articles that could put forth a strong argument for either nurture or nature.
Just because it’s a sin, though, doesn’t mean that I love my homosexual friends any less. They are still human beings, equally deserving of love in God’s eyes. I don’t preach to them or try to ‘convert’ them, as mankind is fundamentally flawed to begin with. I struggle with this dilemma sometimes; sometimes I wonder if love should win out over faith in the end.
