Latest Political Correctness

I realize many people will hate me for saying this, but LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) has NOTHING to do with whom you love. It has to do with whom you choose to have sex (yes verb) with.

This has again been made an issue because Phil Robertson, Originator of Duck Commander (ergo the Duck Dynasty) talked about homosexuality, and it being a sin, in an interview for GQ magazine. Then A&E, the television network suspended Phil from appearing on the Duck Dynasty show indefinitely. A&E said they support the LGBT community.

Here's the thing; you can love anyone and everyone, but that doesn't make you gay or lesbian. It is your sexual attraction and actions that make you Lesbian or Gay. That's according to Webster's Dictionary. As for Bisexual, Webster's says that is "body parts of both male and female" or "sexual attraction to both sexes." And Transgender is nothing more than "attempting to appear as a member of the opposite sex, e.g. a habitual cross-dresser."

I'm not arguing whether or not someone is born with a gene that gives them a greater potential of being gay. That is for the scientists to argue and/or prove.

What amazes me about this whole issue is that we seem to cater to the wishes of a group that is less than 4% of the US population.

Consider;  "The Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, a sexual orientation law and public policy think tank, estimates that 9 million (about 3.8%) of Americans identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (2011). The institute also found that bisexuals make up 1.8% of the population, while 1.7% are gay or lesbian. Transgender adults make up 0.3% of the population."

I pulled that information from About.com by typing the question; what percentage of the US population is gay.

If you believe in God, you know He wants us all to love each other. That doesn't mean we have to agree that everything everyone does is okay. But we are called to love each other. And so Phil Robertson communicated that same thing. He said he wouldn't treat someone differently. But it seems most people (when talking about sexual orientation), ESPECIALLY the gay community, are afraid to admit that what they call themselves is about what they do in the bedroom.

Again, loving your fellow man or woman doesn't make you gay or lesbian. Because I love my male friend, that doesn't make me gay. Just as a sister's love for her sister doesn't make her a lesbian.
