Not Born This Way but This is the Way we Like it; the truth comes out?
The narratives they are a changing although many would say it has always been thus. Now it is out in the open as more gays admit they were not born this way. They chose this way; yes you read it right. An admission bound to set the cat among the pigeons. Or will it really?
To quote one; I am gay, but I wasn’t born this way.
It is only in the last two decades the notion that homosexuals are ‘born this way’ has gained widespread public acceptance in the United States, including (and especially) among lesbians and gay men, explains sociologist Jane Ward in her book Not Gay: Sex Between Straight White Men.
Actress Cynthia Nixon of Sex and The City has said she chose to be a lesbian: I understand for many people it is a choice, but you don’t get to define it for me.
Gay author Brandon Ambrosino argues that many gay activists think the public will only accept and affirm homosexuals if they think that they were born gay.
This and it neatly side steps the requirements of the theory of natural law.
Another reason Ward says is activists have tried to equate the issue with race’ to portray it as inherent.
”I would like to state for the record that I was not born this way,” writes queer columnist Lindsay Miller. “I get frustrated with the veiled condescension of straight people who believe that queers ‘can’t help it,’ and thus should be treated with tolerance and pity.”
Make no mistake; it is a life I chose.
Many have no problem with the tolerance and pity part. They use it to their good advantage all the time.
Back to the question of will this really matter? Have gays come so far that reasons no longer make any difference at this point. Can they afford to be open now they a good percent of public sympathy and political support? My guess is this is the case.
Take a look at what has happened in Germany. The LGBT clergy and laity in the Catholic Church have just staged their biggest coup yet. True the Germans like the Americans are known to be more out there than most, but still.
The group has demanded the Church cave to new insights in science and theology, not sure what they are however, they say; the Church stance on homosexuality is no longer acceptable, even debatable, as 125 people call for a correction to its doctrinal statements.
The thing is the same people who demand the separation of Church and state when it suits have no qualms about forcing the Church onboard with the state.
Milo Yiannopoulos has made a statement that reads as follows;
At my most sinful, at my most unrepentant, at my most wretched, I never dreamed of disputing the Church’s teaching on homosexuality. What kind of person demands that the Bride of Christ throw away her hard truths to lie to them in hopes they will feel a bit better about themselves? And what kind of worthless Church would entertain such a demand?
Yiannopoulos has warned. “We can’t let them get away with it. There are too many souls at stake.”
Meanwhile the usual suspects are moaning about a Florida bill that will protect the rights of parents in schools. The Parental Rights in Education Act will scupper the goals of gender activists. They hate it when they can no longer subvert. They claim it will “effectively erase” LGBT students and history.
The so-called Don’t Say Gay Act passed largely along party lines. Republican state representative Joe Harding introduced the bill.
The text of the bill calls for new procedures to reinforce the fundamental right of parents to make decisions regarding the upbringing and control of their children.
The bill seems to be timely as parents across America raise the alarm over the undercover indoctrination of their children; with a couple of court cases pending.
