But unlike you I support the right of a woman to choose abortion. I read that in 1992 you supported Amendment 2 in Colorado, a measure that banned civil rights laws that protected gay, lesbian and bisexual people from discrimination. On your Promise Keepers Internet site, I read that you believe that homosexuality violates God's creative design for a husband and a wife and that it is a sin. This frightens me. The Bible passages that you claim support your position in Leviticus, Romans and Corinthians are in dispute.
Biblical experts disagree about whether the Bible teaches that homosexuality is wrong.
We do know that Jesus says nothing about homosexuality, although he does say a great deal about loving others. However, even if the Bible does condemn homosexuality, I am not a Biblical literalist. I also use my reason and experience to understand the world. My reason teaches me that the cause of sexual orientation appears rooted in our genetic make-up. Some people are born attracted to persons of the same sex.
