Thus, I agree with the demarcation between homosexual identity and homosexual lifestyle.

So the idea is that God just randomly picks people that should be deprived of the right to pursue their biologically-driven sexual relationships like everybody else gets to? I mean if that's what the religion says, then fine, but THEN the problem becomes that she's picking certain sins in her religion to condemn, while others get a pass. The same book that says acting on homosexuality is a sin also says that eating pork and shellfish is a sin, and that performing any work on the Sabbath is a sin, and I'm sure she does those things. So why does she get to disagree with someone else's lifestyle because it violates her religious beliefs, but she herself gets to do things that violate it?
But I kinda can see where she coming from. I mean, gay culture alone.
