WHY ARE PEOPLE GAY? GAY BY CHOICE OR IS BEG GAY GEIC?

Billy Eichner, noted homosexual, found himself the target of some odd gossip when a clickba article toutg his relatnship wh Noelle star Anna Kendrick went viral. Note: The adjective homosexual often appears formal wrg and medil wrg, but other suatns many people prefer to e the ls formal words gay or (for women) lbian. It very much appears that same-sex sexual attractn is not a choice but actg on is; so if you fe gay as the mere prence of same-sex attractn, then om everythg we unrstand, beg gay is not a choice.

Referenc to the cy later bee mon extrabiblil Jewish phemisms for sexual perversn general and homosexual practic particular ( the New Ttament, see 2 Peter 2:6-7; and Ju 7).

In the se of slavery, for example, the biblil msage is ambiguo; the se of homosexual Acts, on the other hand, what ltle material we have is all cidly negative. Some morn wrers have attempted to narrow s meang om homosexual Acts general to male prostutn, solicatn of male prostut, or (upled 1 Cor 6:9; wh malakoi, another obscure word possibly meang "the effemate") the active partners homosexual relatnships. Perhaps Pl himself, who knew and ed the Septuagt extensively, or some other Hellenistic Jew not long before Pl's time, rived om the passag Levic a pound word that scribed homosexual Acts general.

This drawg of Levic to Pl's letters is also signifint that provis further monstratn that he perceived a moral and not merely pury-based prohibn of homosexual Acts the Old 1:26-27. While many morn revisnists simply disagree wh Pl or disunt his proscriptn as applyg only to prostutn or perasty, some have attempted to reterpret the passage as tac approval of homosexualy. The argument is that Pl portrays homosexual Acts as impure but refully avoids the language of s; he tends merely to distguish a Gentile practice nsired by Jews to be "unclean" orr to draw Jews (or "weaker brethren") to his subsequent explanatn of the gospel.
