Teen contributor to 'It Gets Better Project' takes his own life

The mainstream media has a pernicious penchant of taking a terrible tragedy and turn the outcome into an empty, limited tirade against proper conduct and society.

Homosexual conduct is not normal, no matter how hard advocacy groups press schools and communities to treat the life style as normal and natural. Even the individuals who have practiced this lifestyle in large numbers flee that conduct.

The high incidence of death, disease, and despair among individuals who practice homosexual conduct exceeds the normal limits of other deviant behaviors in society.

However, the media still paint the pain and rejection of young people experimenting with the lifestyle as though it is the fault of unfeeling intolerance and bullying of parents and classmates which ultimately leads these young people to take their own lives.

What really drives men and women to kill themselves is the notion that they cannot change, that they are defined by feelings which are unusual, unnatural, and unacceptable to the basic tenets of a self-propagating society.  Something within every human being witnesses to the Creator within us, who made us to live happy and holy lives, yet we cannot do this to the extent that we insist on misusing our bodies, giving in to our feelings to establish our worth instead of believing in our God-given worth, to shape our feelings.

In point of fact, the hyper-political LGBT (and now "Q") agenda has misled many to believe that "sexuality" is an innate characteristic, despite the fact that pre-pubescent children do not exude sexual feelings, and some adults choose not to enter sexual relationships throughout their lives.

The confusion of sexuality as identity is the true culprit leading to the deviance and dysfunction among young people. Sex is a choice, right down to the responses one takes in regards to the feelings they possess or struggle with. We are not our feelings, we are fare more than our thoughts. But for those who do not believe in Christ, they are dead in the trespasses, spiritually dead, the part of us that is meant to live, the only part that will be alive from this earth into eternity! People are not born gay or straight. A human is far more than the sum and sumptuousness of his or her parts.

Homosexuality is a temptation,like any other behavior, which anyone can struggle with or release from by grace. No one is trapped in strange sentiments. 

We are not our feelings, pure and simple! We are far more than our sexual leanings or longings. We are more than capable, if willing, to adopt or adapt behaviors in the best interests of our body, mind, and spirit.

Yet no matter what one's conclusion may be on the etiology of homosexual behavior, every human is endowed with natural rights from God, which no one has the right to infringe or impinge upon.

Notwithstanding the vocal political machinations of concerted interest groups, sexual behavior is not one of those rights.
