1) If you didn’t choose it, it isn’t a sin. It’s like blaming someone for being born with brown hair. They must insist that it is a choice so they can keep saying gays are bad people who have made an evil, ungodly choice.

2) If you chose it, you can change your mind. This means you can be “cured”, which in turn means that you can be lectured, abused, and bullied at will by any Christian who feels like it. After all, you’re damning yourself to hell and they’re just trying to save you.

3) If you can choose to be gay, you can be taught to be gay. I suspect this is the big one. If a gay teacher, gay priest, or gay scoutmaster teaches your kids, they can push their homosexual agenda and recruit more gays. If homosexuality were not a choice, no amount of homosexual brainwashing could create a brand new gay teen.

Let’s be honest – Falwell knows homosexuality is natural, either an in-born neurological trait or a nurtured behaviour unconsciously programmed into the psyche. He knows people don’t just choose to be gay, just as he knows gays can’t choose to be straight. However, he can’t say it, because admitting that point will negate a huge arsenal of homophobic propaganda.

He is (and this will come as a complete surprise) a fucking hypocrite.

And I’m sure, even if he’s paid Scale according to SAG or AFTRA (and is he required to join?), he can use the money to help buy a third chin.
