Do you think that the Heidi Montag sex video will be leaked? I think they will do it themselves.

[...] that summerâ€™s here and her Miss California crown is gone, this yearâ€™s spring queen of â€œopposite marriageâ€ finds herself playing Miss Congeniality in the headlines to another, even kookier Christian-right [...]

I wish the media and some Christians would stop assisting Miss California, Carrie Prejean in promoting herself as a representative of morality and Christianity. The fact that she strips down and prances around in a little bikini for all to judge how "hot" her body looks shows she is not a good Christian role model. I write for holiness.com and do teach that marriage is between a man and a woman based on scripture. So, I'm not speaking about Miss California as one of those who are offended that she said marriage should be between a man and a woman. http://www.holiness.com/ChristiansInPorn.htm

Your gay-twins argument is Christian-Right horseshit, treated as a joke by any scientist whose judgment isn't clouded by "the Bible told me so" hokum: http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_caus3.htm

Now that you've launched tinfoil-hat dismissals of both global-warming and gay-genetics science, is there anything else you'd like to debunk? The earth orbiting around the sun, perhaps?

It's a scientific fact that identical twins raised apart do not have identical sexual preference. 50% of the time they do not. Clearly there is a genetic factor that creates a susceptibility. It is by no means a "cause" or a foregone conclusion. To deny this is a denial of science. Some who are genetically susceptible, genetically identical to a brother or sister who is gay, do not become homosexual. This is true even when they are raised in the same environment.

This does not mean there is always choice per se, as children do not choose their environment or genes, and this orientation seems to be established early. It is their nature, broadly defined.

Nevertheless, it remains obvious that we choose to act on our nature, or not to act on it. If I chose to act on every natural impulse, I probably would not be alive today.

The pageant. What an excellent way to trivialize such a contentious religious, social, scientific, and political issue. Well done!

If that douche Perez Hilton didn't like her answer, then maybe he should have asked her what her favorite color is instead?
