The Bible condemns homosexuality.

I thought the Bible allows for guy on guy as long as they’re stoned...
It's cool with the giver, not the taker.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Maybe, or maybe worse is stripping people capability of averting evil, because they been deceived to believe they have no control over their states of being.

Homosexuality isn't evil. That you think it is only highlights the problem. And, yes, makes you an asshole in that regard. RE: The Bible condemns homosexuality.

No one wants to condemn a human for something they aren't responsible for. I just don't find simply asserting humans have no capability or choice in the matter that convincing. In fact, it seems the opposite, that there is not any possible choice imaginable by free-will that is not actually possible for it to chose in any possible world.
A muslim™ has opinions about the evil of the gays? Shocking.

None of which deals with the fact that: 1. Your opinion is wrong. Orientation isn't something people can just switch on a whim. 2. It doesn't touch on the fact that, even if people could somehow choose their sexuality (they can't), that you think that homosexuality is evil and worthy of condemnation. There's no wisdom or grace in saying "Man, I really don't like condemning these people, but I have to because they're not willing to change something I have no reason to think they can actually change to begin with. Something that does not affect me, but am told to hate from a dubious authority." It's you being an asshole, and attempting to excuse it as being some kind of divine profundity.

It's not like it would mater if it were a choice, as in fully, completely, anytime you want control over sexual orientation. If I could choose, on a whim, to like men or women..what is supposed to be the evil in making either choice?
