There’s an article in today’s New York Times about gay-straight clubs in high schools. The highlight of the article has to be this part, about a Baptist minister who is opposed to one such club at a high school in Kentucky:

‘Enter the Rev. Tim York of the Heritage Temple Free Will Baptist Church. Mr. York calls the club “dangerous.” He says: “I believe God made male and female. I believe what the Bible says in Romans. I condemn the act of homosexuality.” Mr. York is concerned that the club will be used to turn Boyd [High School] students into homosexuals. (Mrs. King, the club sponsor, says she has been prohibited from even saying hello to one student whose parents fear he could be turned gay.)

“Homosexuality is a choice people make,” Mr. York says. When, occasionally, one of his own members confesses to such feelings, Mr. York recommends hunting deeper for God’s grace. “I say you don’t open yourself to all urgings; you control them. Just like an alcoholic.”‘
