Scripture describes it as always wrong, and so to choose to practice it is always sin. There is no such thing as a homosexual child. It is practiced only and always out of rebellion. This points up another related issue. The famous counsellor Dr. Ruth recently spoke to an audience of high school students and openly stated that their natural sexual drives were too great to be suppressed until marriage.
Reasonable people know that expectations of chastity until marriage are unrealistic.
But all this ignores one basic fact. They bear God's image and as such have the capacity to choose if and how and when their sexual appetites will be satisfied. The popular excuse to the contrary degrades humanity to the level of a beast and denies its dignity as the crown of creation. If a man wants to have premarital relations with his fiance, for example, and she wants to wait, he is told he must wait also. In such a position we are responsible to sort out priorities and make choices accordingly.
