Help: Gay People

[Jack_Dawson]

So I was in this bar last night talking to an otherwise nice enough girl when she mentions how she has "worship" tomorrow. Of course a couple of vodka tonics later I can't help myself and I say, "do you believe gay people are born that way, or they choose that lifestyle?" Of course she went on to tell me how it's a choice and of course I told her I highly doubt anyone would "choose" to get their ass kicked growing up and discriminated against their entire lives.

Then she breaks out that "God loves the sinner but hates the sin" and also confided that her brother is gay. I asked her how that went over in her family and apparently not very well (surprise!). Anyway she started quoting scripture "Man shall not lie down with man" or something (I was buzzed and can't really remember).

Then I'm watching this thing on HBO where Rosie O'Donnell organizes some gay cruise and they pull into Nassau, Bahamas and there are all these black folks holding signs quoting this scripture or that scripture and it seriously made me nauseated that people hate in the name of Jesus. Especially growing up Catholic where I was taught that Jesus loves everybody.

So my question is...next time I get into it (and there will be many next times) can someone give ME some scripture to throw back at these imbeciles? My first instinct is to punch them in the face but of course that's not very "Christian-like" so if any bible thumpers can give me some good ammo I'd appreciate it. Thx.
