A clever and apt rejoinder, to be sure, and it might make the light of understanding come on for some thinking people, but not for those self-proclaimed "Christians" for whom thinking is tantamount to blasphemy. For those individuals, the answer to "Why are you straight?" runs along the lines of "Because that is God's order for the world. Homosexuality is inherently disordered, an abomination before God, and it is a behavior and a lifestyle choice at best, and a sickness at worst. Come pray with us and Jesus will cure you of your homosexual urges." That's a longwinded way of saying what President Bush's Karl Rove said just the other day: "If we want to have a hopeful and decent(!) society, we ought to aim for the ideal, and the ideal is that marriage ought to be, and should be, a union of a man and a woman." Yep, that's the Bush administration..."spreading freedom and democracy around the globe" (the Brits called it "bringing them civilisation" a century ago...didn't work out too well back then, either). |
