According to some gay men I know, this was an actual invention by the LGBT community because they hated what they've been called before. Which would be queer or fag.

I'm thankful that Christianity continues to kill itself off more and more by the day by remaining moronic. I'm looking forward to it when there is only about 10% of these morons left standing around and wondering where everyone went. They weren't born this ignorant, it is a choice.

Chad, you start to sound like a third rate sunday school special. Pull yerself together. And yes, if we did behave like bonobos, the world would be a much better place.

I have no idea, my point isn't really about etymology, it's about basic human decency.

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

What has that to do with decency? It's nicer than queer of fag, that's for sure.

Well, the original definition of queer is odd and a fag is just a cigarette.

If no one is born gay, then it stands to reason that no one is born straight, a position that is farcical on the face of it. I never made a conscious choice to be heterosexual - I always knew the ones with the bumps in their jerseys were what I was after.

If my sexual orientation isn't a conscious choice, why should anyone else's be? More to the point, why does anyone care??

Well, I don't. However, I have it on good authority that the inexpressibly magnificent, unfathomably intelligent and creative being who willed into existence this immense and wondrous universe really, really cares which hole (and whose) you gratify yourself with sexually.

Go figure.

Two observations:

1. Unlike with homosexuality, Christianity is a choice.
2. Unlike with ex-gays, ex-Christians remain ex-Christians.

The deviant and unnatural lifestyle choice of Christianity can be cured.
