The gay thing...It's a choice, you know

People are created by the Divine in His image - black and white, tall and short, gay and straight, thin and fat, male and female, blonde brunette and red-headed.  The choice is what we do with that.

We choose to be racist, misogynistic or homophobic.

We choose to love others or to hate them.

We choose to include or exclude. 

We choose to be jerks or to be excellent to one another.


"There are set before you fire and water; to whichever you choose, stretch forth your hand.  Before man are life and death, whichever he chooses shall be given him." (Sirach 15:16-17)

"Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make." (Duet. 30:19a)

Our choice.

Your choice.

Choose wisely.
