The Bible and Gay Rights

Dorothy Mann supports the view that homosexuality is a sin and deserves no civil rights. And then continues with bombast rhetoric that our nation will be led to incest, bestiality, etc.

The fact is that psychologists and the medical community view that sexual orientation is not chosen by the individual. Recent research even suggests that there are genetic differences between homosexuals and heterosexuals. They cannot be cured or healed as she blindly suggests. If you think about it, why would anyone willingly choose to be part of a hated minority anyway?

Approximately 10% of the population is homosexual, which represents significant numbers for America. To deny civil rights to such a large population is against American principles because there are many homosexuals that helped make this country great.
