Disorientation During New-Hire Orientation

A brief update: I have finished all of my work for my bachelors degree this December, so that is one good thing accomplished and one less thing to worry about. Secondly, I am still in the middle of selling my home and purchasing a new one. The deals are moving forward and looking positive, but my family and I relocated with most of my things in storage. That includes my books, so my posts wont be as well researched. I have also started a new job this week and that is going very well. With all this going on, I still feel compelled to write, simply because I enjoy it. Now on to other matters:

As I mentioned, I have started a new job this week. It is an improvement from my previous employer for various reasons, which I will not get into, but with starting any new job, you must go through an orientation process. During my current orientation process, I surprisingly noticed a change in content which was very disappointing, but not entirely inconsistent with the culture today. 

We were having a lecture on multiculturalism on the first day of orientation and learning the typical info about America as a melting pot and how we must adapt to other cultures and languages, when the speaker, mentioned the LGBT community and juxtaposed them with other races. 

I couldn't believe they were trying to  pass homosexuals off as another race, as if a behavior, a disordered sexual preference could be thrown into this multiculturalism box. The ignorance of these people is just embarrassing. Race, Color, and the distinguishing physical traits are obviously something that everyone should accommodate and accept, but to associate a disordered behavior with a persons race is just asinine and more importantly an acquiescence to moral relativism.  

What made this whole scenario all the more disgusting was the fact that this company continually touted that it was a "faith based organization". The faith mentioned is one of the protestant flavors, so it is not surprising the stance they are taking on this. 

I know and understand that our culture is moving in a southward direction, but i cant help be disappointed when even so called "faith based organizations" tank to the pressure of the LGBT community. I am literally watching the moral fiber of our country crumble away, piece by piece. 

To sum up, if your going to have sensitivity training for the acceptance of gays: fine, teach that we need not discriminate or be mean to them for their sinful lifestyles, but dont make the mistake of associating it with a congenital hereditary trait like race; that is erroneous. Look, I know we are all sinners and some worse than others. I accept gays as human beings, respect their eternal souls, and will love them as best I can. But loving them does not entail me approving of their sin nor as something to be celebrated and respected. Its just not going to happen. 

I just pray that I wont have to sign or fill out some sort of statement or affirmation approving of their lifestyle; otherwise, I am hosed.
