ALAN CHAMBERSSo to pick and choose that once you come to Christ you’re never going to struggle in those areas again or never fall prey to stumbling in those ways again, I just, I don’t think we can assure that.

ALAN CHAMBERSI can attest to the fact that sexual orientation is not immutable and I urge the city council to vote no on this amendment.
