If surgical interventions work then so be it. At the same time, by definition a condition that requires medical intervention, like surgery, is a medical condition.

I have always been very accepting of homosexuality even as an atheist. The difference is that when I converted to Christianity, I've started to think of it as a condition of misplaced desire, more akin to far-sightedness than cultivated sins like avarice or envy. But I cannot prevent you from wildly speculating on the hidden motivations of others or insisting that you can read minds.

Indeed. I could be wrong. Ours is a difference of opinion. I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise...despite the attempts of many people who are determined to make accusations of bigotry and hate over simple differences of opinion.
