The LPGA Safeway Classic took place last weekend in Oregon and Juli Inkster was only three shots back of the leader and had a chance to become the oldest women ever to win an LPGA tournament at 50.

This week, news came out that a drug used to decrease genital deformities has an interesting side effect..... It makes really, really, straight girls and, therefore, greatly decreases the chance that they will be gay.

Now, for just one moment, let's address the fact that I must have been on Mars when the news came out that science has discovered a way to alter sexual orientation.  Last I heard, there was a raging debate going on as to whether or not people are born gay or choose to be gay.  Doesn't the very fact that science has discovered if we give a baby girl a pill, she is more likely to be straight, lend support to the fact that being born gay is just like being born with blue eyes or being born left-handed?

So, our "liberal" media must have gotten it wrong this time, and forgot to report the biggest social medical breakthrough in years:  science has discovered how to make you straight which must mean it is only a matter of time until science figures out how to make you gay.

Talk about funny practical jokes.  Are we headed towards a day where grandpa's punch at the wedding gets spiked with "gay juice" and he is grabbing the groomsmen during the photos?

But I digress...

Science will continue to reach new heights and since necessity is the mother of invention, those new heights will inevitably reach into the realm of the greatest mystery of how we become who we are.  And is it possible to change us? Can we take away the gene for diabetes, Alzheimer's, Down syndrome, gay, left-handed, curly hair? Will we continue to move forward to a society of sameness in order to feel more connected and loved in society? Is that what we want? A world of white, straight, tall, blue-eyed, right-handed people with straight thick hair? I don't.

In the grand scheme of things, the only thing that makes me feel like a minority is being gay.  It is the part of me that makes it harder to have children, harder to have a career, harder to get married.  It adds an extra level of difficulty to my relationship with my family, friends, mentors, bosses, etc.

So, given all this extra weight that my minority status adds to my life, would I take a pill to make me straight if there was one out there? How much easier would my life be with a handsome husband and naturally-conceived children? Would my friendships be easier to maintain if there wasn't the unspoken divide between the life of my straight friends and me? Would I change it all if I could? Would I give my babies pills to try to save them from a life where they may have to deal with being gay and the inevitable alienation that comes with being different?

No.  I can say that definitively now.  Call me traditional, but there is something beautiful and freeing about deciding to be all natural.  My journey, I realize, is the same as everyone's.  I am here to learn how to love unconditionally.  That means loving God unconditionally and the world he created and honoring those that he created, me included.  My life's challenges were not planned.  No one plans to be different.  But we all are in some way.  That is what makes us all connected.  Folks just take different routes learning to accept their differences and the differences of others.

I don't want to imagine a world without the neighbor with Down syndrome or super models, Betty White, Stephen Hawking, Michael Jordan, Carrot Top, The Situation, Olympic athletes, Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, Elton John, or John Wayne.  Our differences make it fun.  I hope we figure that out before we figure out how to make all the differences go away.
