A new study may have just hammered the final nail in the mythical "born 'gay' and stuck that way" coffin.
By J. Matt Barber
Concerned Women for America"For purposes of protecting individuals belonging to an identifiable group against discrimination,
the Supreme Court has devised a three-part test. To qualify for protected "suspect minority classification," any given group must possess
immutable characteristics (unchangeable, like skin color). The fact that homosexuals can change, as this study has reaffirmed, would disqualify them as a suspect minority class under that test alone. However, a suspect minority class must also share both
a history of discrimination and
political powerlessness to qualify. Again, self-identified homosexuals fail both tests. In fact, rather than suffering from political powerlessness, the homosexual lobby happens to be one of the most powerful and well-funded lobbies in the world per capita.
The study's findings will be detailed in Yarhouse and Jones' book, "Ex-Gays? A Longitudinal Study of Religiously Mediated Change in Sexual Orientation," which is expected to hit bookshelves soon. "

...So THAT's why they're going on and on about 'immutable characteristics'...
