One of the biggest problems facing our culture has nothing to do with the actual biology and sexual orientation of people. As we all know, biology is formed before we are born, and sexual orientation is intricately linked to it. Rather, a major problem is the perceived biology and sexual orientation of people. As our society continues to run headlong toward some androgynous utopia it seems the number of people perceiving their sexual orientation to be frequently changing climbs.
What I’m getting at, and what I don’t see a lot of conversation about, is the number of people that change their sexual orientation and the frequency with which they change it.
Homosexual advocates say that homosexuals are “born that way,” a cliché that has all but died thanks to science disproving the existence of a “gay gene.” These same advocates say that once a person admits they are homosexual that it is impossible to change and be anything other than a homosexual. Now, to be fair, they are okay with homosexuals becoming bi-sexual, or even transgender, but certainly not heterosexual.
I suppose homosexual advocates don’t like when a man like Nicholas Cummings, former president of the APA makes statements like this one: “Contending that all same-sex attraction is an unchangeable or immutable characteristic like race is a distortion of reality.” Cummings is only admitting what honest experts already know, that homosexuality is a choice and just as it can be chosen, it can be un-chosen.

In honor of Father’s Day we have put together a few articles all related to dads. Some share practical advice and reflections about the writer’s own father. Others share historical facts about the day designed to honor our Father. We believe fathers are an essential ingredient to every child’s life, one that should not be substituted with fakes or imitations. So take a few moments and reflect on your own dad and thank God for him. No, he probably wasn’t perfect, but then again neither are you.
The story of 18 year old Kaitlyn Hunt being arrested for engaging in a sexual relationship with a 14 year old at her school is making waves nationwide. But it doesn’t seem to be Kaitlyn’s age that is the cause of so much controversy. After all, in Florida, where this incident is unfolding, many have been arrested and convicted under the statutory rape laws of the state. It seems to be the fact that Kaitlyn is gay and the “other person” is a young girl that is causing heartburn for so many.
A key component to the marriage conversation that many would like to pretend does not exist is young evangelicals; or for that matter, millennials of any age. It has been propagated more than once that opposition to legalizing same-sex “marriage” comes mostly from old, white people. And, that increasingly diverse generation of young millennials overwhelmingly embraces marriage redefinition.
Should people question the orthodoxy of someone that claims to be a Christian while simultaneously supporting same-sex “marriage”? That is a loaded theological question that I don’t have time to unpack here and now. But, spoiler alert, in my humble opinion I question the orthodoxy of anyone supporting things the Bible and Jesus clearly do not. What I find extremely interesting in this ongoing discussion over homosexuality and the effort to redefine marriage is fewer people are remaining silent on the issue.
