Homosexuality - Is It a Choice? (3 of 4)
Series: ''WWJD about LGBT?''
Steve Jones
1 Corinthians 14:10
Introduction: Little junior said to his dad, ''Why is the grass green?'' Dad said, ''I don't know.'' Junior asked, ''Why is the sky blue?'' Dad said, ''I don't know.''

Often, the way people answer this question determines their political and religious views on homosexuality. It also seems to affect the way we relate to homosexuals in their daily lives. Both liberal and conservative groups know this, so we've all been flooded with propaganda on both sides in recent years, some claimin ...
