Gay lifestyle
 
     
En Castellano
 
In the population in general, and among conservative Christians in particular, there are frequent references to the "gay lifestyle," with conservative Christians condemning it as being immoral.

I can guess what people mean by "homosexual lifestyle." I'm assuming it is a euphemism for same-gender sexual relationships. But what a travesty to call sex a "lifestyle"! I find it all the more distressing that sincere Christians who have given up same-gender sex refer to having left "the homosexual lifestyle."

They, of all people, ought to know that sex is not the same as a "lifestyle."
Admittedly, I know more homosexual persons who are faithful spouses to their heterosexual partners or who are living celibate lives than homosexual persons who engage in same-gender sex. But in either case, I know that homosexual persons, or "gay people," if you will, have all sorts of "lifestyles."

Some are wealthy, some are poor, and many are somewhere in-between. And their lifestyle reflects it. They may live in expensive homes with swimming pools, or they may live in modest bachelor apartments. They may drive luxury vehicles or depend on public transportation.

 
 

They work as doctors, teachers, pastors, musicians, computer consultants, nurses, administrators, waiters, hair stylists, business persons, or as any number of professions or blue-collar workers.

To the rest of the world, they are indistinguishable from the average heterosexual or "straight" person.
So why do we talk about a "homosexual lifestyle"?
As nearly as I can figure out, the term reveals a vast ignorance of what it means to be "homosexual." Those who do not have genuine homosexual friends simply assume that to be "homosexual," one must choose to engage in same-gender sex. Nothing could be further from the truth.

brazosAlthough there is likely an infinitesimally small percentage of persons who made a choice some time in their lives that they preferred gay sex over straight sex, the vast majority of homosexuals did not choose their sexual orientation any more than heterosexuals chose their sexual orientation. They were simply alarmed to find that when their peers became more interested in the opposite sex, they didn't. More alarming still, they found themselves heart-stoppingly interested in one of their own gender! And for many Christian homosexuals that was the beginning of a fearful and agonizing wrestling with God to please change their unchosen desires! 

When God didn't -- and I know of no one who was thus miraculously changed -- different people took different paths. Some concluded that, since God did not answer their heart-wrenching prayers, their understanding of Scripture must be wrong, and it must be OK to be gay and to engage in same-gender sex.
