News: Pop singer Moby wants gay kids
Posted on Monday, April 25 @ 06:03:11 PDT by John

Strange Stuff Pop star Moby, known for his political statements as well as his music, says he'd do everything he could to make his future child homosexual should the singer ever have a family. He's also blasting conservatives Tom DeLay, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and Newt Gingrich as "amoral/immoral" right wingers.

In an interview with Planet Out, a publication geared toward homosexuals, the musician, who is not "gay," was lamenting so-called homophobia in society when he suggested his future child should be raised to be a homosexual.

"As a matter of fact, I was talking to my friend Laura, who sings on [my latest] record, and we're both getting to the point where we want to start families," Moby said. "We're convinced that if we have children, we're going to do everything in our power to make them gay. Like maybe drinking a lot of extra soy milk while she's pregnant, or anything that would work to make that happen. I'd just rather have a really sharp, interesting, smart gay son than some big dumb hetero meathead."

On Moby's website, he also said he wonders why Christians in general are so "worked up" about homosexuality.

"I ask this because Christ, at least in the New Testament that I have, never mentioned homosexuality, so we thus don't know what Christ might have thought about homosexuality. Why is the church so up in arms about an issue that Christ never seemed to have mentioned? And why does the church so routinely gloss over so many of the issues that Christ actually did talk about? It just makes no sense to me."

Moby, who once called President Bush a "big, fat f---ing liar" at a New York event hosted by the political organization MoveOn.org, is now taking on well-known conservatives in his online diary. ,In an interview with Planet Out, a publication geared toward homosexuals, the musician, who is not "gay," was lamenting so-called homophobia in society when he suggested his future child should be raised to be a homosexual.

this is outrageous... everyone knows it's skim milk that makes people gay, not soy!

No, I thought it was "genetics" that makes people "gay" or is that line used just when it's politically convenient?

I guess having a "gay" kid is better than having a gay kid.

His "music" may not be so great, but his theology is TIGHT!!!!!! I'm kind of impressed by his level of tolerance as well. He has that wonderfully consistent worldview you come to expect from the "progressives" in the entertainment industry.

Well,

I'm not a big Moby fan, but I'll give a contray opinion to most here.

However seriously it was intended, Moby makes his point fairly well. And if Christians are to ever "reach" post-moderns, as has been discussed here recently, Christians have to actually "hear" them, and not just talk over them, because they're not wrong about a lot of things.

From a parental perspective, which is better/worse: homosexual offspring or fascist offspring?

So, Moby's point is made.

We could make the same point, from the Ultimate Parental perspective, by phrasing it as the following rhetorical question.

Which is more detestible in God's sight: a homosexual or a fascist?

North American churchgoers are certainly much quicker to hate and condemn homosexuals than they are the fascists who are in their midst, and who may even be imperceptible to them.

It's nice to see that Moby actually consulted the words of Christ to get an impression of what the Master has said about the issue.

Of course, Moby makes another decent point. That, most Christians are poseurs.

Peace to you all,
C. Livingstone

I don't understand why people keep claiming Jesus did not speak out against homosexuality. Did he not, when answering the Pharisees about the legality of divorce, reaffirm God's plan was one man, one woman from the beginning? This statement by Jesus should cover any deviant sexual behaviors, even in this context. Yet, I never hear Christians use this passage as a defense to this ridiculous claim.
