Basketball over bathrooms — this is how a revolution in morality is coerced. Today on #TheBriefing https://t.co/r3obd4A9th

Mohler’s harrumphing is wildly misplaced here. The NCAA accepts, as nearly every biologist and doctor on earth accepts, that sexual orientation is innate, that it is set before birth just as eye color and skin color are set. Researchers are confident that they have found the mechanism, too, that orientation varies according to the chemical environment of the mother’s womb. They can’t ethically dose mothers-to-be with varying amounts of estrogen to see what turns-on their children in 20-years, so they are obliged to consult old medical records; so far, that research upholds the hypothesis.
The only moral issue that I can see here is that Mohler is willing to constrict the lives, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of his neighbors in deference to the egregious nonsense written by Bronze Age anonymities.
Ignorance is forgivable, but resolute ignorance is a failure of character — and that’s on Mohler.
