I thought you were referring to something more specific in terms of genes known to be directly associated.
Some libs would abort their child for being straight!
Then it can be eliminated (in men).
10 time more likely than normal (1/20).
by definition it’s perverted behavior. by the very definition of the word perverted. you can say it’s abnormal as well, by definition of the word abnormal.
Nope. It is not necessary to know which genes are involved to know that a disease has a strong genetic component.
yes but for it to be a “i cant help being gay, it’s genetic” there should be 100% as they have identical dna. it isn’t. so they can’t claim they have no choice but to be gay. this disproves their claim they have no choice.
they are trying desperately to put this on genetics because then they will say it’s not their fault, they were made this way, they can’t help it, it’s not a moral issue.
even if there isa predisposition in genes somewhere, it still doesn’t make it not a moral issue. they still have choice.
do we allow genetic predisposition to let anyone else skate breaking laws? do we let alcoholics drunk drive because of genetic predisposition to be an alcohol abuser? do we let murderers off because their genes show they have predisposition to get angry about stuff more quickly and intensely than others? do we let gamblers steal or walk away from huge debts because of a genetic predisposition to get amped up and dangerously obssessed with making wagers?
we do not.
and before you say being gay is legal, from 1620 till recently, it wasn’t. it was a serious crime. it was only changed in 1973 from being a mental disease because gays bullied and strongarmed psychiarty/psychologists redoing the DSM at the time they were discussing the new revision. the decay this country has seen in its other morals across the board because of legalizing this has been devastating.

means no conclusive proven scientific evidence. they still go on like its proven, though and spend the rest of the time assuming it’s true. and then making conclusions and action items based on their desired assumptions.
Maybe we should have parades that celebrate Alzheimers.
The end of the parade would be an undetermined time and place.

It is the nature of science that one cannot do a single experiment, or even dozens of experiments, and expect to "prove" something conclusively. Typically, results are accepted as definitive only when they have been corroborated by many scientists using many different methodologies to show consistent results.
The fact that these scientists used that uncertain language means that they are bona-fide scientists who understand that their findings may be wrong, or that their data could be interpreted differently. That is how genuine scientists talk. If you ever see scientists talking about their experimental results as if they are definitive and conclusive, you can be fairly certain that they are trying to hoodwink you.
Also, why are you upset over the fact that homosexuality may actually be something people are born with? Knowing what causes it is the first step in figuring how to cure it. Like any disease, the fact that it is completely natural does not keep us from trying to cure or control it. We're always trying to cure perfectly natural diseases.
I know that, but the way you wrote it sounded like you were referring to known specific genes.
“Being born with” is what the left uses to bolster the “i can’t help it” rationale they use to excuse any kind of behavior they want to do but society and Godly folk denounce as immoral.
It’s like we have to accept and embrace it because it’s not their fault.
The bible never discusses any exemptions to any sins based on any genetic predisposition. Alcoholics predisposed to alcoholism, gamblers predisposed to obssessive gambling, people predisposed to anger and violence, none of these can cry “my genes made me do it!” and society doesn’t punish them or make their sins, legal.
But we bend over backwards for the sin perversion of homosexuals. And we cannot oppose it at all or we’re intolerant, unloving, these-people-can’t-help-it how dare you, attacks on us.
THAT’S WHY. WAKE UP.
Worth a listen:

It’s from Chicago NPR affiliate WBEZ, but it is surprisingly public and evenhanded on the history. There are some surprising revelations here about how the DSM was changed.
It’s worth sharing as well since it’s from public radio. Libs cannot complain it’s biased.
It’s like we have to accept and embrace it because it’s not their fault.
The liberal radicals are doing everything they can to get people to accept homosexuality as normal, and that won't change just because the causes are found.
There are plenty of behaviors that we do not tolerate, even though the people engaging in those behaviors were born to act that way. For example, we do not allow sociopaths to go around killing people just because their brains are naturally wired in such a way that they are driven to kill. We catch them, lock them up, and in some cases, execute them.
I think this kind of research is very promising. With the causes known, effective treatments can be developed. I think those who celebrate sexual deviancy are very cruel to these mentally ill people. Everyone suffering from a mental illness, including illnesses related to sexuality, deserves compassion and treatment for their illness.
