[Vision2020] A Thought to Ponder

[Tom Hansen]

"Ask yourself, if it's true that sex orientation is innate, is God-given,
then what does it mean to the moral force of your argument? To put it in
the vernacular, what I would ask is, 'How many more people does God have
to create before we ask ourselves whether or not God actually wants them
around? How many gay people does God have to create before we ask
ourselves whether the living of their lives the way they wish as long as
they don't harm others is Godly, holy, happy, glorious. thing.' I've
answered that for myself. I don't think everyone's answered that for
themselves. I'm comfortable with a society and tradition that bends toward
justice, fairness, wholeness, openness, compassion..."
