No one would argue politically that people have a right to practice what ever sexual orientation they choose. People have a right in this country not be discriminated against because they are homosexual. This country is based on such freedoms. Does it make any difference whether a person is gay as a bus driver, an athlete, a judge, or a soldier. What about a police officer or an airline pilot who is gay? The fact that you know or don't know affects you is your problem.
However, from a religious standpoint, if you have any knowlege of the bible at all, then you know that God, (won't debate religious doctrice here) is not pleased with homosexuality and calls it an abomination. The problem then becomes how can you not discriminate politically, but be in line with God?
There are a lot of people who face this dilema. But there is a solution. First, if you believe in God and the truths in the Bible, then you must follow God and not man. But God does not discriminate. Rather, God allows choice. He tells you what his rules are, what the consequences are of following them or not following them and lets you make your choice.
We as a country and a people should take that point of view. Stop putting people who choose to live an unnatural life style in a position of shame or hiding, but instead let them make their own eternal choices. Their choice is not going to make you become Gay. Neither will the majority of society become Gay. The percentage of Gays in society is not growing, it only seems that way as more people come out of the closet. But they were Gay anyway. Wouldn't you rather know that that friend of yours is Gay rather than not? Knowing that someone in the military is Gay is really no big deal, but their eternal salvation is. As a follower of God, just let them know what their choice will mean in the end, i.e, when they meet their Maker and are judged.
