I guess by now everyone on the planet has heard Utah
Governor Gary Herbert’s claim that homosexuality is a choice, and I don't completely disagree with that. While I believe that some homosexuals are genetically predisposed to being homosexual, I also feel that many people choose to live the homosexual lifestyle by choice. Now, before all you self-proclaimed “free
thinkers” bite my head off for straying from the "party line", or threaten to
firebomb my home in a show of your own tolerance, read on.
I would say to the Governor that if he is of the opinion
that homosexuality is a choice, then he has established his position that
sexual orientation is a choice in general. So, somewhere along the line, while
maturing; well getting older anyway; he had to have made a choice to be
heterosexual.
Now that we have established that sexuality is a choice for
everyone; I would ask the Governor why his choice is right and the other choice
is wrong. Don’t give me the biblical arguments; this is a Secular Republic. The Middle East is full of radical theocracies, all too willing to tell us what to believe. They are called terrorists. Or doesn't the good Governor believe in the War on Terror?
It is 2014; homosexuality has been around since the
beginning of time. And, it will be with us for the duration. In the meantime I
would suggest that the Governor get to work on the real problems which plague
his state. Utah currently ranks 38th among the 50 states in
education. In Utah a child dies before their first birthday every day. The
birth weight of babies born in Utah is among the lowest in the nation. Another
child is abused every 41 minutes.
Instead of me listing them all, just hit the following link
from the Children’s Defense Fund to get a real picture of life in the great
state of Utah. I would tell the Governor to get busy working on these problems
before he makes any further attempts at social engineering. How about starting
with some food for those babies, and Child Protection Services for the abused
ones? Oh, and maybe a few books for those students? After all, these are the
children of the Governor’s “choice”; the products of heterosexual unions. Who
knows, with a little help from the state, someday they may grow up to be
smarter than their parents and elect a Governor who really understands the job.

Note: As of 2 days later, high schools in Utah are altering students photos to "show less skin." You can't make this stuff up, which again calls to mind the similarities between the state of Utah and some of the terrorist nations we are supposed to be fighting. In that part of the world they have religious law; also known as "Sharia." And, in those countries it is mandatory for women to cover themselves.
Someone needs to remind the Governor that this is America. Keep in mind that he is one of the same Conservatives who tell you they want to keep government out of your lives. Right....
