Aside from all the scientific evidence that shows homosexuality is genetic, I know in my heart from my close friends who have dealt with this that it is NOT a choice. I've seen up close the pain they have gone through, along with their families. They would give anything to be "normal". The God that I know and love made all of us the way we are and never hates any of the children he made. I simply refuse to believe otherwise and I look forward to knowing my gay friends in Heaven as I know them on earth- only without the horrible influence of rediculous bigotry and persecution. And, let all be clear that God is not too keen on judgementalness and bigotry either.
