Almost immediately after posting the short blog titled: “Keeping Them Gay,” I started receiving messages that children do not choose their sexual orientation, but are born with it. This is an argument I hear repeated over and over again by the gay activists; although there is not one piece of scientific evidence which points to a genetic or any other biological component to homosexuality. Actually, from my own experiences, the opposite is really proven all the time, as many gay men and women oftentimes share similar childhood backgrounds. For the most part, I found that homosexuals were deeply injured people; suffering greatly for the past that was out of their control. Here is the evidence: The Archives of Sexual Behaviorreports: “One of the most salient findings of this study is that 46% of homosexual men and 22% of homosexual women reported having been molested by a person of the same gender. This contrasts to only 7% of heterosexual men and 1% of heterosexual women reporting having been molested by a person of the same gender.”
Because, God did not create anyone gay. His creation followed “natural law.” From the spiraling of the galaxies, to the revolution of the planets around our Sun; all reflected in the symbiosis of animal and plant kingdoms right down to the smallest atoms; the world was made to function in harmony. Even before the advent of Man, fossil remains have shown that life flourished on the Earth. Everything was self-sustaining. According to The Catechism of the Catholic Church:
299 Because God creates through wisdom, his creation is ordered: "You have arranged all things by measure and number and weight." The universe, created in and by the eternal Word, the "image of the invisible God", is destined for and addressed to man, himself created in the "image of God" and called to a personal relationship with God. Our human understanding, which shares in the light of the divine intellect, can understand what God tells us by means of his creation, though not without great effort and only in a spirit of humility and respect before the Creator and his work. Because creation comes forth from God's goodness, it shares in that goodness - "And God saw that it was good...very good"- for God willed creation as a gift addressed to man, an inheritance destined for and entrusted to him. On many occasions the Church has had to defend the goodness of creation, including that of the physical world.
With the Fall, came the introduction of disorder. Man lapsed into a cycle of removing himself from the rules of Nature. Pain, sorrow, and anguish entered human existence. Children were born, and the innocence of what once was quickly disappeared. Man had distanced himself from God. Perfection was no longer an in-born quality. Now, we are subject to our hungers and lusts. How we control them determines just how close we can return to that pre-Tree-of-Knowledge state. In consequence, every gay child should know that he or she was not born different, or gay. They were born like every other living thing; to fit into, borrowing from a rather good Disney animated film, “the circle of life.” As in the wilderness, Nature can be ruthless, and the outsider is quickly picked-off or destroyed. Only, God loves us so much, even those who have been wounded, that we are protected, in order to mature and heal from the damages of a sullied world. In this way, gays are truly capable of reaching saintly consummation, as they abandon all for the Love of the Divine Physician.
