You can't force anyone to change, that is one reason the APA (American Psychiatric Association) removed homosexuality from the DSM III. Prior to their action the standard "therapies" for treating homosexuality included shock therapy, aversion therapy, chemical therapy, and hormone therapy all of which are barbaric and will not change anyone. Have you ever seen a Clockwork Orange?
I have never stated that all members of the gay community are gay because of psychological reasons. There are some who were probably injured in the womb, have hormonal inbalances, etc. This is a complicated subject. However, for a Christian there are only two options a life of celibacy or seeking counseling, support, and encouragement to change their sexual orientation.
There is an online support group for those with a gay orientation who have chosen to live celibate lives in obedience to God's will.
As to gay unions this is something I will oppose because I don't believe that legalizing gay unions is to the advantage of anyone more particularly to the destiny of this nation and the eternal destination of those engaged in homosexual sexual relationships.
If the gay community wants to get gay unions legislated let them use the Constitutional route and get legislators to legalize them and cease doing an end run around the Constitution by appealing to liberal courts. We are a nation of laws; a nation of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Back to the civil rights movement it was only after the civil rights legislation was passed by the U.S. Congress that the courts enforced those laws, not before.
