YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFrank Turek was asked how Christians should respond to gay family members, and I took issue with his answer. Apparently, he thinks LGBT people can become straight, and if they can't, they should be celibate. He thinks Christians should "help" family members to do this. Now, not only does the relevant scientific literature show that gay people can't change sexual orientations, but that LGBT people are best off when their families and friends support them. I think this shows how little many Christian apologists actually care about science when it becomes problematic for them.
It turns out that his advice on LGBT issues is even worse than his "gotcha" questions for atheists.
