This has become a pointless discussion here, FM. What I have learned the past couple of days:

- Being gay is irreversible, unchangeable, permanent, from birth. People who at one time were gay and now live a straight lifestyle are denying who they are. Suggesting otherwise is offensive.

- There is no reason anyone would ever at any time choose to be gay. There is no logic, no appeal, no attraction to becoming gay, other than you were born that way. Suggesting otherwise is illogical and offensive.

- There is no struggle that anyone deals with that is in any way similar to being gay. It stands alone among all conditions, weaknesses, character traits, or states of being. Comparisons to any other type of struggle are offensive.

- Because it is permanent, any discussion of curing is offensive. Any discussion of changing is offensive. Any discussion of therapy is offensive.

- The homosexual lifestyle should be normalized, accepted, and tolerated.

- The foregoing points are indisputable.

- If you disagree with any aspect of the foregoing you are ignorant, uncaring, or bigoted, or all three.

- If you disagree with any of the foregoing, you must not know any gay people.

Some will say this is an exaggeration, but these points are an accurate summary of the conversations I've participated in here today and yesterday.

There is no room for discussion. There is no room for understanding. There is no gray.

Cheers.
