• Parental pedophilia is widespread: 23 percent of children with a lesbian mother reported having been touched sexually by a parent or adult, compared to 2 percent of those raised by biological parents.
• Rape is rampant: 31 percent of children raised by a lesbian mother and 25 percent raised by a homosexual man report that they were forced to have sex against their will, compared to 8 percent from intact families.
• Sexually transmitted disease (STD) is epidemic: over 20 percent of those brought up by two women and 25 percent raised by two men reported having contracted an STD, compared to 8 percent from natural families.
I know... I know. The perverts defenders will now say it's somehow OUR fault that Homosexual households are dangerous places for children!

First of all, I'm not familiar with the journal this is from, so I cannot tell the validity of the research. Yes, it's published by Elsevier, but Elsevier's taken a lot of hits lately for bundling in junk journals with subscriptions to perfectly good, peer-reviewed work. Just because it shows up in Charisma Magazine's mailing list does not mean that it's good science.
Second, I am going to be very politically incorrect for this board and point out that if you tell a person over and over and over and over AND OVER again that his/her sexuality is sinful, it's going to have an effect. And it's not going to be the repentance you so desperately crave for these people to have. Some people will become VERY angry and will not have anything to do with God every again. Conversely, some will become depressed and may kill themselves. Then there are a lot of people in the middle, some of whom may be convinced that the thing to do is to get married heterosexually--and that ultimately DOES NOT WORK and is WRONG. And if you're being told over and over again that you're a wretched sinner, worse than anyone else, do you not think that can't have some effect on home life?
Third, as someone who did date a closeted gay man for a couple of years and wanted to get married (because that's just what we were supposed to do), I have to say it's cruel to tell people that they need to be heterosexual or celibate if that is not their inclination. From talking to gay and lesbian people, they do not choose this. This is not something that they'd wish on their worst enemies. Who chooses to be bashed over the pulpit at church, harassed at school, and treated like evil sinners by good church people? Who?
I could say a lot more but I am going to shut my mouth. I lived too long with this. People talk about the social engineering of gay marriage and parenting. What about the social engineering of telling gay and lesbian people that they should marry and it with straighten them out. It DOESN'T. It's wrong.
And it's one of the several reasons I have for never darkening the door of a church again. I don't need my blood pressure to skyrocket because some preacher's decided to go after the "homos" again.

My son, being gay, and hearing over and over and over again that he is evil, thought of killing himself every day.
In my opinion we don't know enough to say why people are gay.
And we have hurt a lot of people with stuff we've said and done over the years.
Jesus told us to be wise as serpents and as harmless as doves and we sure haven't done a very good job of that.

Amen.
If there is a genetic/biological connection in some cases, we have shown very little compassion towards this infirmity.
Exodus 4:11 (ESV)
11 Then the Lord said to him, “Who has made man's mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?
There are people with all sorts of biological issues that affect behavior. I know a pastor's wife who has a chemical embalance that she inherited from her mother. This woman, if not medicated, is prone towards fits of anger, rage, and venomous speech. All these things are "sin"... but there is a biological connection. Our fallen human bodies are tragically flawed and imperfect in this fallen state. That's why 90% of our battle is with... the flesh.

I've thought about killing myself before. Changed my mind after realizing that suicide is a selfish decision and sometimes a pretext to gain attention.
There is no excuse for perversion. My wife was molested by her father for 9 years, and his sexual preference sent him to prison, for life. He’s dead now, and my wife is free, and so are the other children he molested.
Homosexuality is perversion. It’s not natural, and Pandora’s Box is opened when human beings indulge in this behavior.

I can only conclude that your claim is not provable, on the basis of two things: if it were, you would have done so by now (I would think), and it is not possible logically to disprove something that is proven.
