For years, various organizations have attempted to have “Tolerance” taught as part of the school curriculum in America. These attempts to teach tolerance in our public schools have always been met with protest from our conservative Christian organizations. These Christian organizations believe the schools are being forced to teach their children that homosexuality is acceptable, which is contrary to their religious beliefs.
At the heart of the problem - is the belief that homosexuality is a learned behavior and not a trait one is born with. They cannot accept the "Born Gay" hypothesis, as that would mean that God created the homosexual trait which would be in direct contradiction to their interpretation of certain bible verses. One must remember, all interpretations of the bible were directly guided by gods hand and therefore cannot be wrong.
Therefore, Christians are compelled to believe that homosexuality is a learned behavior and any attempt to teach acceptance of homosexuality would lead to their children becoming gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Teaching tolerance of homosexuals equates to sending their children straight into the arms of Satan.
I believe that many Christians choose to conceal their bigotry by hiding behind misinterpreted bible verses, but that is just my opinion.
