God Made us Gay?
David Hawpe, columnist for The Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY), in an essay called Gay-bashing worked and will be back if those who oppose it stay quiet, wrote:
It's one thing to oppose gay marriage, but it's not really in the American characer to impose broad, encompassing government rules that isolate and punish people for God-given attributes such as sexual orientation.
This leaves me with the next best thing to one of those "Well, duh!", smack-the-forehead moments of realizing the obvious.
Why, I've wondered, is it so vital to the reactionary, fundamentalist camp to believe that homosexuality is a choice and not a fact?
Obviously, if it's something we're born with, then it's something [their] God gave us. Now, there's a quandry. Whatever shall we do with the homos when the love of our fellow men is gracefully granted by [their] God? Oh dear, oh dear.
