“Because of this did God give them up to dishonourable affections, for even their females did change the natural use into that against nature; and in like manner also the males having left the natural use of the female, did burn in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the recompense of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving.” – Romans 1:26,27The Bible says that homosexuality is learned behavior that is connected to turning away from God, and some in our society agree. At the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, students can learn how to be gay.
“in a course description on the university’s Web site, Mr. Halperin says: ‘Just because you happen to be a gay man doesn’t mean that you don’t have to learn how to become one. Gay men do some of that learning on their own, but often we learn how to be gay from others.'” – Entire article.”But often we learn how to be gay from others”? Not too many gay right advocates would make this admission, but it is what we have known or suspected all along that homosexuals are developed and not born that way. George Gilder observed:

“…an enormous number of homosexuals have clearly been recruited from the ranks of the physically normal….There are millions of males who under the wrong conditions are open to homosexuality.”(Men and Marriage, 1992, p.71)

The Bible says that homosexuality is a sexual sin to be repented of. The Romans passage cited above indicates that homosexuality is related to turning away from God. But some are now convinced that homosexuality is natural, an inborn trait: the urge is just too strong for it not to be. But this attitude should be rejected as it is not founded on scientific knowledge. Because a person feels a strong urge to do something is not evidence that it is a genetic predisposition. Contrary to common assertions that homosexuality is inborn, this is a cultural lifestyle that is indirectly influenced in homes and/or directly passed on through “initiation.” George Gilder in his book, Men and Marriage, wrote:
“The most crucial cause of the rise in homosexuality in America in recent decades is sexual liberation: the emancipation of men from monogamy.” (Gilder, p.76)Gilder allows that homosexuals may be afflicted with a profound predisposition toward it, that may be “physiological” in nature, like alcoholism or other additions (which I disagree with, though Gilder allows for this because the physical and social science can’t offer absolute evidence either way). But I think he is right on target when he says, “an enormous number of homosexuals have clearly been recruited from the ranks of the physically normal.” (p.71). Gilder explains the “recruiting” process that includes drugs and alcohol and is usually associated with some kind of perceived or real (as in societies where men are allowed to have more than one wife) alienation by the “physically normal” man, which can play a part in his turning to other males.

The professor David M. Halperin, who is teaching the University class on learning to be gay, includes in his university course description: students “will examine a number of cultural artifacts and activities” including “camp, diva-worship, drag, muscle culture, taste, style and political activism.” Mr. Halperin’s class explores “the role that initiation plays in the formation of gay male identity.”

These activities that serve as university course material play right into the “recruiting” methods employed by the homosexual community.

In closing, let me say that Christians should show kindness to all people. By trusting what the Bible says that homosexuality is a sinful thing, does not mean that Christians can take a mean or nasty attitude toward those who practice this sin. We must be kind to all, and call for people to repent and turn to salvation in Jesus Christ.
