Fundamnetalists listen up: people are born gay! Of course the science has shown this for years but maybe at least some of the religious right will open their minds and realize that for most gay people being gay is a not a choice.

Since this is the way God made them wouldn't the Christian thing be to welcome and accept all people gay or straight?

I doubt that very much. There are many Christians who accept people regardless of sexual orientation but sadly the numbers of rapture believing, gay hating, close minded religious nut-jobs seems to be rising.

No, this won't end their hate. This will only fuel it. They'll say, "SEE, WE TOLD YOU THEY WERE A DISEASE AND THIS PROVES IT."

Mark my words - they'd rather abort a baby than to see it grow up to be gay.

You missed the main point of the article, and that is that this might end the rethorical gay bashing, but it will start a biological/chemical attack.

For a while now, the "fundamentalists" have been saying they don't hate gays, just the "gay lifestyle." In other words, you would still be expected to abstain from the gay lifestyle and either embrace heterosexuality or celibacy. Far be it for me to tell you what to do, but I think gays should fear this more than welcome it. Suppose you were a 12 year old, and you were feeling that maybe you were gay. Would you tell your parents, if there was a drug out there that could "cure" you? I think if such a drug could be created and someone WANTED to take it, then that would be fine. But this article is talking about administering it pre-birth, which to me sounds like a modernized form of eugenics. We all know where that led. I also think about people who had their sex "corrected" after birth, only to grow up and feel the sex correction chose the wrong sex. And then they were stuck. I just think we need to be VERY CAREFUL about this sort of thing. As for religion, it's hard to get around those bible verses, but then again the Catholic Church decided women didn't really need to cover their heads, so I guess anything is possible.

Perhaps there is a hidden agenda in all of this discussion. The whole theory that hormone therapy in the womb can change the characteristics of the brain, in-turn changing the sexual orientation of the soon to be born child, is highly speculative and unproven. Despite this, many posters to the Fray have expressed outrage that anyone would be allowed to alter nature and change someones sexual orientation without their consent or knowledge, before they were born

In other words, assigning lifestyle rights to the unborn. It would be quite easy to turn this arguement around. If the unborn have lifestyle rights, would they not also have a right to life. If it is wrong to eliminate gay people, why would it be OK to eliminate people in general, regardless of their sexual orientation. It is a very slippery slope.
