From "Think Your Child Might be Gay?" posted 3/21/08
The advertisement reads:
Do you have a child under the age of 10 who you think might be gay or "gender-variant"?
If you and your child are willing to be profiled on camera for a segment to air on Good Morning America, we want to hear from you.
Please fill out the info below and you might just end up on GMA.
The whole premise of this is completely misguided. Homosexuality is based on behavior - not identity. Even the American Psychiatric Association is now acknowledging that there is no scientific consensus for the notion that people are "born gay." To tell your child that you think he or she is homosexual is nothing less than a tragedy for that child in this world and the next.In fact, a Christian should NEVER talk about homosexuality in terms of 'orientation.' If we speak about homosexuality in terms of orientation we must also say that liars have a 'dishonest orientation,' people who cheat on their spouses have an 'adulterous orientation,' and people who steal have a 'theiving orientation,' etc., etc., etc.
God says that we ALL have a sinful orientation, so the operative word is TEMPTATION...Something which we should be encouraged to overcome - not embrace as an identity.
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. - Matthew 18:6
