Nielsen letter: Being gay
Do homosexual men choose to be gay? Or are they simply born that way? Consider the evidence.
In Josef Stalin’s Soviet Union thousands of gay men deliberately chose to be starved and frozen to death in prison camps in Siberia.
During the reign of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany, thousands of men chose to be gay so they could be tortured, castrated and sent to concentration camps, where they cheerfully wore pink triangles to distinguish them from ordinary prisoners.
Today many young men, especially in some religious homes, announce that they are gay and then hang or shoot themselves in celebration.
We also have gay men cheerfully paying good money for useless religious incantations that claim to transform them into heterosexuals.
Yes, dear reader, we have both secular and religious evidence that being gay is a deliberate choice. Just ask your pastor.
Ralph Nielsen, Moscow
