All of you will be judged by the Lord God almighty for supporting such horrific acts against the sanctity of... Hehe. Just kidding.

I actually recently got to know a young man who - believe it or not - is an aspiring Lutheran minister and is completely out and gay. He said many of the other guys in his minister class (I don't know what they call it) were as well.

He clearly came from a very repressed background, because every other sentence he utters he mentions that he's gay (overcompensation). He's having an identity crisis because he's surrounded by theatre people in a small city and nobody gives a flip that he's gay. In fact, most of the people he associates with would at least qualify as bi-sexual or so casual about sexual boundaries that they might as well be. A guy in my group of friends in college was like that as well. After a while we were all like, "Okay. You're gay. What else? Any hobbies? Any passions? Good books you've read?" He'd spent his whole life being the gay guy that he'd never considered himself outside of that context.

Whether it's ultimately natural or not, I think anyone who has ever seen two homosexual men or women truly in love realize that it is genuine and how miserable they would be without that love. If that is their pursuit of happiness, who are we as a nation to deny it?
