Born This Way

Lady Gaga famously sang, 
"There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are
She said, 'cause He made you perfect, babe
So hold your head up, girl and you you'll go far
Listen to me when I say

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way"

In the Plan of Salvation, one of the core concepts of it is that we have our free agency. That is one of the main reasons why Satan left with 2/3 of God's children. It was because Satan didn't want us to have our free agency. If we were born with same sex tendencies then that would completely take away our free agency. As Lady Gaga says, "He made you perfect, babe...'Cause God makes no mistakes." Heavenly Father and our Savior made us in their image and yes, He did make us perfectly. Would our loving Heavenly Father create us to be born gay? I don't think so. I understand that everyone in their life has their own trials and struggles. BUT we aren't born with those struggles and trials. These rough times come about through life and the decisions that we make and the people we are surrounded by. 

     Twins are made up of the same genetics; they have the same genotype. A study was done and it showed that only 11% of twins were both gay. That means that the other 90% of twins are either both straight or one is gay and one is straight. If being gay was a genetic cause then both twins would HAVE to be straight or gay. But in reality the results are all over the place. I firmly believe that same sex tendencies are created by misunderstandings and social pressures. I think we have to control to influence someone positively. If a young boy is being bullied because of his more feminine characteristics, I would hope and pray that there is someone his age to show him the respect and acceptance he deserves despite his different characteristics. Maybe if people with these "different traits" weren't teased or outcasted by their peers, just maybe they wouldn't have turned to seek comfort in same sex tendencies. Maybe we as a society should become more aware of the control that we have one someone 's life and their decisions. This will ultimately effect the happiness of people all over the world.
