There are a lot of people who think being gay is a choice, including Christians.  I've come across this time and time again and they are entrenched in their way of thinking, we bang our heads against a brick wall trying to show them otherwise.  A very narrow view, one reason why I don't like posting on forums (and haven't for years) that are solely Christian.  I don't think they are representative of mainstream Christianity but they think that people like myself are 'liberal' - "God didn't create people gay", etc.

However, 'the inner spirit' has no gender and gender is not to do with gayness.  Sexual orientation is a different matter and I have no idea whether or not our spirits have sexual orientation - is mine a heterosexual one?  Or is it neutral?  Who knows?

Still nowt to do with the Orlando shooting, I can't imagine the shooter was thinking about his victims' spirits.  And it wouldn't be a bad idea if you stopped tarring all Muslims with the same brush and being so focused on Islam as a religion.  That is a form of fanaticism. There are plenty of other religions and other issues.

Your excessive use of punctuation marks and sometimes your 'ha ha ha' are confusing and unnecessary.

OK OK OK OK !

Brownie and Trippy,

This is no longer a discussion, it has descended into a spat between two adults who are acting like two four-year-olds in a school playground.

The topic relates to 49 deaths and 53 serious gunshot injuries and a country ruled by people who are supposed to be representatives of those who elected them but are in the pay of the N R A, according to one America commentator/journalist, writing in the Evening Standard recently, to the tune of at least millions and possibly billions of dollars.

For the love of humanity, gay or straight, S T F U and start acting again like the adults we all know that you really are!

It's funny but all these kinds of spats we sometimes have on these boards doesn't mean we wouldn't be best friends outside !! We'd probably have a good laugh about it.  ;)

COS certain religions, not mentioning like !!!!, think being gay is entirely a choice !!!!
Nick, I'm not sure that any 'religion' has anything to say about whether it is a choice or not.  Some may say that practising one's orientation in this way is wrong - but I'm not sure that any religion references orientation.  OK, some here will say that 'orientation' was only recognised 150-odd years ago, but it would seem to have been around for centuries, and possibly known under a different name.
