Maybe you guys have seen this before, but I thought it deserves its own thread.
Apparently, at least one defender of homosexuality attempts to use a (out of context) scripture phrase (because Pete Buttigieg has come out as the new face of 'acceptable Christianity') to justify the claim that "God made me that way".
Interestingly enough, the passage from which that 'justification' was ripped is the one the pro-life crowd uses to show that we are known by God while still in our mother's womb.
I stated this in another thread, but I didn't want it to get lost in Tassman's defense of Buttigieg as a "practicing Christian", so I post it here....
Robert C Bordone, a Clinical Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, writes in an article defending Buttigieg's "faith"....
As I have stated, Buttigieg doesn't "interpret" scripture to justify his defiance of biblical teaching - he simply ignores the relevant passages. THIS GUY, Bordone, goes one step further, in ripping a verse out of context, and WHAT CONTEXT IS THAT?
The very passage that pro-lifers often cite to show that we are "persons" in our mother's womb....
So, in an idiotic attempt to prove "God made Pete that way", Bordone rips a phrase out of a passage that condemns Buttigieg's "the beginning of human life is unknowable" idiocy.
So, "Practicing Christian Pete" was "fearfully and wonderfully made" by God, knitted together in his mother's womb, with his unformed substance written down in God's book, but the beginning of human life is "unknowable"...
I wonder if Bordone even has a clue that he just condemned Buttigieg's aggressive pro-abortion activism.
ETA: Please note - this thread is NOT to reexamine whether Buttigieg is a "practicing Christian" or not - it's focused on the attempt to use the same scripture to justify "being born gay" that is also used to show that we are persons in our mother's womb.

Like Mayor Pete, I was a bit of a late bloomer, coming out at the age of 30. Many factors held me back, including the official teaching of my Catholic faith, perceived family expectations and my own fears that being gay would deprive me of a host of professional and personal aspirations. Like Mayor Pete, I did all I could do to deny my reality and make dating women work.
In the intervening years since coming out, I have reconciled my faith with my sexuality and been fortunate enough to find a local Catholic community that supports me fully for who I am, as someone who, in the words of Psalm 139, is
