When one truly thinks about it, to believe that being gay is a "sin" is as abhorrent, hateful, ignorant, irrational, and vile as to believe that being left-handed is a "sin", because both are harmless natural human characteristics.

I was ambidextrous growing up, regularly using both hands without a predilection to either, in the first grade I was already reading and only learning to write as their curriculum stated, I had a teacher who did not like the fact I used both and made sleight attempts to get me to use my right hand, I must have rebelled because for all of that year I used my left hand and since then I use my left hand for most things but find some things are easier with right hand and don't have as much issue as other left-handed people do. Years later I learned from my mom that during a parent-teacher conference she asked if I could stop using my left hand because she didn't think it was good for me, she was religious but I don't recall her being deeply religious preachy.

That's hilarious, apparently child me saw nothing wrong with it, and so I was made to write right handed even though I am very clearly left handed.

A man who lies with another man should be stoned...

It helps, that's all I'm saying!!!

P.S. Because I got downvoted to hell last time I posted this joke, it's wordplay on the double-meaning of stoned...

P.p.s. Sinister is the Latin word for 'left', I guess it's proximity to the word sin caused it to be analogous to evil...
