The sad thing about that, is, if he were allowed to be gay, he might have accomplished some great things for the sake of his community. But no. Gays can't be Christians, and Christians can't be gay. So off into the closet we go. Until we bust out like leaking acid from a poorly cared for battery. Grandma says that gays keep getting born, and they are people. New gays are born and they are people. So, people should be treated equally because, they, are, people.
Can't the church get it into their heads that this is biology? The French study on fertility suggests that the gay gene is actually a fertility gene that is passed down from DNA to BOTH sexes to insure its survival. That would explain androgeny and sexual attraction. Gayness is not a moral issue. It is part of how DNA is constantly encoding traits for survival of the species.
When we see a recurring trait in the DNA pool, we know that the trait must be important to the survival of the gene pool. God wasn't an idiot. Love triumphs in the spirit, and in the gene pool.
