Gay is a CHOICE and that is a PROVEN FACT. You cannot be gay and a Christian at the same time.

Wow, I'm probably about to offend nineteen different kinds of people by what I'm about to say, but I'm horribly liberal so...
Can we please keep all the religious zealots off Greekchat??
This is in NO way meant to knock Christianity or anyone's religion for that matter... but I HATE HATE HATE how people use their religions to justify their intolerance for people who differ from them in any way. (Be it sexuality, political opinions... whatever.)
I think a majority of GCers would agree that religion is something you avoid like the plague when recruiting... it just doesn't come up because it has no bearing of how wonderful a brother or sister that person could be. (I understand that this is different for a fraternity or sorority that is founded in association with a religion. But last time I checked, religion and sexuality were hardly the same thing.)
Just like sexuality has no bearing on how wonderful a brother or sister could be. If you don't believe that, then come to Mizzou where our Greek community differs in religion, skin color, sexuality, hometown, high school, income, favorite color, major. You wouldn't cut someone because they like the color red and you like blue. Just like you shouldn't cut someone because they like men and you like women. Obviously one of these differences is much more important than the other, but in the end, aren't they both merely a matter of preference?? If someone is homosexual, then that's their sexual preference, not a measure of whether or not they are going to show up to chapter and events or if they will keep up their grades or if they will represent the brotherhood or sisterhood positively.
And, back to the quote at the beginning of this post, not only are there obviously a multitude of GCers that disagree... but I would submit that there are a number of gay Christians who would disagree as well.
