2nd Colorado pastor quits over gay sex allegations

If you read this article, you will notice a statement that saddens me to no end.

Paul Barnes told church members: "I have struggled with homosexuality since I was a 5-year-old boy. ... I can't tell you the number of nights I have cried myself to sleep, begging God to take this away."

This is the main problem with the thought process on this subject. You can't wish it away or pray it away. To me this is further proof that people are born a certain way, and any attempt to "change" them will result in this type of tragedy.

This situation hurts so many people, it is a shame that the 5 year old boy wasn't taught that Jesus loves you just the way you are.
