I would think it blindingly obvious...and actually, you allude to it yourself in your words...homosexual behavior. If homosexuals can be "re-oriented" (for lack of a better word), then that means at least some of them are not born homosexuals, they are made homosexuals due to some external stimuli or another. If so, biology cannot be destiny, since biology would predicate if one is born an aardvark, one is an aardvark. And, if one cannot definitively determine the biological process which renders one a homosexual, we are being asked to grant special treatment to a class of individuals who cannot define their own class. That is illogical and societal madness. |

I don't see how that follows - care to explain? And, wouldn't that same logic imply that the hetero who later re-orients homo would 'prove' that we aren't born heterosexuals? |

Also, implicit in your argument seems to be the view that an innate disposition towards a certain behavior can't be overriden by free will. That seems an unlikely position for a Christian to hold. |

The logical extension to that statement is that if heterosexuality is the natural state of human beings, can the innate disposition toward sexual behavior be overridden by free will to maintain celibacy? Big Al |

Not necessarily - depends upon which Christians you're talking to. To be honest, every Christian ah believes that humanity is irretrievably broken by an inherent, inescapable sin beyond our mere actions (think original sin) actually believes what you've just said. Just not all of them have as yet recognized or accepted homosexuality as being part of that condition. |

I was under the impression they came from a long line of nomadic Farquars in a remote and arid region of Scotland. |

Refreshing to see a politician actually own up to something like this. Around here, we don't get that (Sen. Bob Packwood, Mayor/Gov. Neil Goldschmidt, Mayor Sam Adams, Rep. David Wu). |
