Directed to the group - So which is it? Is gay a choice or a medical condition? Because it seems the pro-gay advocates seem to switch it around depending on what argument they are facing so I hope we can give parents who don't know how to handle the situation a little leeway. Some places have outlawed the psychiatric treatment of homosexuallity claiming it isn't a medical condition yet we are saying it is foolish for a parent to forbid this behavior. Which is it?
My wife's brother is going from John to Jenny and his Democrat Dad and family gave him the ole bon voyage'. All the family has - except for guess who? Good ole Untra-Conservative Dane Allen. We host him/her for major holidays and such when no others will, irregardless of the liberal tripe I am subjected to and the complaining about why other people won't change their spiritual and world views to accommodate her/him. "Jenny" will not accept anything less than flag waving, 100% validation from family.
My Chraistan beliefs include taking to heart the dignity of the human being, love the sinner and hate the sin kind of stuff. That is what I am teaching my kids and there won't being anything liberal mixed in if I can at all help it.
