    He has very weak rhetorical style so I tend to avoid his videos because even when I agree with the conclusion, his arguments are so easy to refute.

    I think it is possible that there are multiple factors that cause someone to be gay, and that maybe for some people it’s not set in stone from birth. That being said, I believe it is at least set early in life before we are aware of it. And it still does not follow that it’s a choice or a temptation. For the people who are insistent that it is, I do wonder what their own “temptations” are. He’s just viewing homosexuality as a behavior as do the places that criminalize the trappings of homosexuality. To him we are not a people but more like addicts.

    I don’t have competing desires. If I weren’t attracted to women, I wouldn’t be attracted to anyone. If I didn’t see heterosexual couples everywhere it would not occur to me that partnering with a man is something I should have ever considered trying in my life.

    And lol he considers race some sort of inherent God-given category when there’s not even some universal agreement about what race people are, much less what that should mean? How in the world does that make sense? What race does he consider Turks? Poles? Spanish-speaking third generation South American immigrants of entirely European descent? Blond Bosnian Muslims?
