Hate speech to say that homosexuality is changeable

Or so a prominent Mormon has found out. Boyd Packer is President of LDS Church’s Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. He recently said that homosexuality is not inborn -- arousing a storm of protest. So the Mormon church is distancing itself from his words.

"The Mormon Church is trying to perform some sleight of hand, and hoping no one notices. On their online version of Boyd K. Packer’s hate-speech, they’ve changed some of the most critical words -– possibly in response to the national outrage against them.

Last Sunday during Packer’s sermon, he made the preposterous claim that homosexuality was not born of inbred “tendencies.”

But ‘Lo and behold,’ in the Church’s online text version of the same speech, the word “tendencies” was changed to “temptations.”

The initial words spoken by Packer said, “Some suppose that they were pre-set and cannot overcome what they feel are inborn tendencies toward the impure and unnatural. Not so! Why would our Heavenly Father do that to anyone? Remember he is our father.”

The new text reads: “Some suppose that they were preset and cannot overcome what they feel are inborn temptations toward the impure and unnatural. Not so! Remember, God is our Heavenly Father.”

If you say that IQ, laziness, tendency to crime or a whole host of other things is genetically inherited, Leftists will always furiously deny it. Homosexuality is the the lone exception. How convenient! How odd!
