Quote:Having come out, she wants to spread the message that you don't have to choose between your faith and your sexuality.I think that depends on her surroundings and circumstances. If her family and community are strict fundamentalists, she would likely face considerable pressure to choose between her faith and her sexuality.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
