Some will try to carry the argument further, by arguing that homosexuality is a chosen and sinful condition that precludes faithfulness to God. It has recently become popular to argue that if homosexuals just loved Jesus enough they could become heterosexual. The ads featured Reggie White, a black pro football player, Trent Lott, the Senate majority leader, and former gay and lesbian persons who are now married. Most people will admit that no one knows the cause of homosexuality. There may be a range of homosexual propensity from fully same-sex oriented to only slightly so.
Homosexuals can certainly change their behavior.
That is amply attested by the fact that so many homosexuals married and had children in their attempt to be heterosexual. There is abundant anecdotal evidence of gay and lesbian people who wanted to change and did everything possible, short of suicide, to try to conform to the social expectations of the majority society. Most could not do so. To claim that the failure of Christian homosexuals to become heterosexual is due to their failure to love and obey God is a form of bearing false witness against our neighbor. The State's Concerns Perhaps I digress.
