Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.
Note on today’s topics. This will be a slightly modified version of Wacky Wednesday. Rather than actually advocating these arguments, I will be presenting them with the goal of understanding the other side properly and then seeing how we can best respond to them.
~It’s not a choice.
~No one would choose to be an outcast like this.
~It’s probably genetic
~Even heterosexuals acknowledge that they never really chose to be straight.
~You can’t choose who you love.
~Many people who have tried to stop it or not act on it have failed.
~You shouldn’t have to suppress your sincere and deep desires.
~Why is gay love less love than straight love?
~Sexual behavior is private, and what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms is really none of your business.
~If you’re going to accept contraception, how can you oppose this?
~Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
~The only other reason people oppose it is because they think it’s gross.
~It’s good for straight men because it reduces the number of men competing for women.
~It occurs quite naturally in all societies which suffer diminished access to females such as in jail or onboard a ship.
~It occurs in nature among primates and other species.
~The New Testament never directly condemns homosexuality, and certainly Jesus did not do so Himself.
~Jesus came to minister to and rescue the outcast. Who is that more than the gay man of today, especially the gay man with AIDS?
