Cynthia Nixon

Actress Cynthia Nixon has caused quite a stir in the homosexual community by saying that she made a conscious choice to be a homosexual. Nixon has been in a relationship with a woman for eight years. Before that, she spent 15 years with a man with whom she had two children.

Nixon says, “A certain section of our community is very concerned that it not be seen as a choice, because if it’s a choice, then we could opt out.”

She has pinned down the truth here. It is important to many people who practice this type of immoral behavior to believe that they had no choice in the matter—that they were born that way. Then they take no responsibility for their actions, and—at least in their own minds—they will face no consequences from the God who supposedly “made them that way”.

It is interesting to note that the word “choice” takes on such a negative connation regarding this particular moral issue, while that same word is a rallying cry for those on the wrong side of another great moral issue of our times.

“But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve…But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”—Joshua 24:15.
