I actually have a friend who's bent and thought about becoming a Christian. He said, when i asked about him having to live a lie, that he'll -
"Carry on being Gay and doing the things i enjoy, but just be sorry if it upsets God in anyway."
which i think is one of the better ways for being Christian. Do everything possible to have a full and adventurous life, but just be sorry if you're upsetting God in someway. That way, on the basis that there is no God, you have still enjoyed your life to the full.
On the issue of whether it being nature or nurture. I recently read an article which went on about how two, young male, twins went to be circumcised. One of the twins penis' was burnt off horrifically and the Doctors stated it may be best to construct it into a Vagina. The family went along with this and then brought up one of their sons as female, thinking they could change his mindset if they tried hard enough. Decades past and it was evident that the child wanted to be a boy. Doing male things. Being attracted to females etc. Anyway, at the end of this he committed suicide because he felt estranged. A couple of years later, his brother did the same, because of the stress.
Point - Chemicals in our body and moreso in our development can do amazing things. They can make us have both sex organs. They can trap us into the body of a sex that we aren't mentally. We can accept all this. And Homosexuality is the same. Chemical imbalances in the Brain cause the Brain, and in some case body, to become more female than male. I don't comprehend how people can look at a Gay guy who has a feminine, sleek body and face structure and say he wasn't born that way.
On a different note - yes, Fags can live a lie and pretend to be straight. Should we have to? No. Not really. In the long run it's more damaging.
'its just a conversion to a different belief'
And going on that basis Homosexuality shouldn't even be around. Moreso in England around the Victorian ages when having wet dreams was a sin. All cultures and societies throughout their time have hated Queerdom, yet it still remains. Surely if it was a choice, society would have already stamped it out?
