I was raised in a Christian home. When I was young my parents would take me to Sunday school. I would learn all of the Old Testament stories, and sing songs about God and Jesus. My parents never mentioned anything about Homosexuality when I was growing up. I was the youngest and I had two older brothers, who of course thought they were the ones who needed to tell me everything about life. So most of the stuff you are supposes to get from your parents sex talk, I got from my older brothers. When they explain what "Gay" was I didn't really understand at first.

You made some excellent points and your skill as a writer is obvious, but your topic doesn't hold water as you present it.
