I don’t really want to debate the philosophy and religious aspects of this; I really don’t see the point if you already believe it that fully. I just want to make a statement from a scientific point of view, and that science shows us that, at least in males, homosexuality is caused by the level of certain hormones in the woman during certain phases of pregnancy. I know lesbians are formed through a different process, which I’m not really familiar with, but this at least applies to males. If there is something morally wrong with homosexuality, then there is equally something wrong with being born autistic, or black, or color blind, or any other naturally occuring physical phenomena. If there is a God, then he is just as responsible for my homosexuality as he is for any other inborn characteristic of me. I completely agree that it is a choice whether or not you act on homosexual feelings, but it isnt a choice if you have those feelings to begin with. I could marry a woman, have kids, and fulfill the ‘american dream,’ but I would always be unhappy, like something is missing in my life. I could choose to deny it, and live a rather unhappy life, but I really don’t see how that benefits anyone, myself included. Though, on a more personal note, I think I live a pretty good life. I’m a good son, very close to my family who loves me entirely, homosexuality included, a good student, I devote time for others, I volunteer… overall I’d say I’m a fairly decent person. I don’t run around having sex with people, I want to have one partner who I will be with in a lifelong partnership. If I end up in some sort of hell because of my life, then that’s really not saying much for the level of enlightenment that ‘God’ exists on. If there is a God, I’m sure he’s much more highly evolved than to worry about petty things like this… it’s insignificant in the scheme of our lives and existence. I think, that is someone truly does believe in God, then it’s insulting to say he would be so low, he’s beyond that.
