"A small percentage may be born that way, mother nature isn’t perfect,"

Who is this mother nature person so many refer to?

Consider the facts:

1. If it is genetic, then homosexuality would be passed from generation to generation just like any other genetic trait

2. Homos cannot mate with other homos. The only way for a homo to reproduce would for a homo to have a child with a hetero and for the homo gene to be dominant in the child.

3. Does anyone REALLY think this is what’s happening?

4. Because if not, then the percent of homos in the population should be decreasing.

5. Or, it’s just a learned behavior and has nothing to do with the genetic structure a person is born with.

Of course they are born that way. They are born sinners. That’s why they need to repent, just like the rest of of us with our respective sins.

The “scientists” promoting “Born That Way” won’t use identical twins in their research. You’d think identical twins would have the same “sexual orientation” but oddly enough two “gay” twin-siblings is very rare.

Actually they can eat all the carbs they want.

They will just die quickly, after they go blind.

Some are, some aren’t. I estimate 50% of lesbians are not really gay, but can’t handle a relationship with a man and don’t care so much who is munching on their rug.

For homos, it boggles the mind to think that anyone but a born perverted male would relish the thought of a big hairy you know what, jammed in the place of darkness. Maybe 10% are just asexual and like guys better than women to hang out with. But the rest? Pervs from day one.

Are bank robbers “born that way”? Are alcoholics? Are composers? Are inventors?

This question has no importance to the right ordering of a society.

What does the game-is-over mean?

Well, abortion on demand will end.

What about people that are born non-Christian but heterosexual, are they of satan?

Born that way?

Perhaps.

But if born that way it is not normal.

Like someone born with a mental or physical anomaly, it may be “natural” but not normal.

If you believe in evolution then man and woman evolved to perform two separate sexual functions.

If you believe God created man and woman, then man and woman were created to perform two separate sexual roles.

Seems pretty clear to me.

If they ever find a gay gene, then will people get abortions if they carry a homosexual fetus? Many people abort Down’s syndrome babies, for example. Does the homosexual community really want us to go down that road?

A second problem with the born-that-way theory is that even if true, it wouldn’t prove that homosexual behavior is moral.

One could add, "or normal." Many are born with birth defects but does that make them normal?

they would argue that they are BORN THAT WAY and there’s nothing they can do about it. THEREFORE, their lifestyle should be treated as normally as anyone who was born genetically different

But the "therefore" doesn't follow from the predicate.

Whatever your genetic endowment is (good or bad), any society that is going to survive has to favor certain things and disfavor certain other things.

The question, as regards "out and proud" is, is it on the whole good, or on the whole bad, taking everything into consideration.

Thieves and alcoholics suffer terribly because of repression and disfavor. Composers and engineers enjoy a good life because their predilections are elevated and rewarded.

The choices a society makes about public homosexuality are of great importance and affect many things.

How its practitioners "are born" has zero to do with it.

Speaking of lesbians, I’ve never understood why so many go out of their way to have a mannish appearance.

If a lesbian is a woman who loves another woman, rather than a man, why does she feel the need to go against cultural norms of how females appear? You all know what I mean. The flannel shirts, mannish clothes, boyish haircuts that are so prevalent among many lesbians, makes you think they want to be a man, not a woman.

Can those wires get crossed up prior to birth?

Game over?

I think the game just might be beginning.

You see, abortion. If you can determine if your baby is going to be born “gay,” then people will start to abort gay babies.

Whoa.

Imagine the gay mafia going berserk over THAT.

“Wait! You can’t abort a baby because they will be homosexual, you just can’t!”

The game of liberals fighting over banning the abortion of gay babies will be something to watch.

Even better. What happens when we have a prenatal screen for homosexuality?

I bet that all of a sudden a woman WON’T have an unlimited “right to choose” to abort.....

How can someone be a killer or thief, if they’ve never killed or stolen?

What if they just say...no I’m not?

If you have ever spent much time around children, the vast majority of them prefer same-sex friends and often avoid children of the opposite sex. Remember “cooties”?

What would be the influence of sexualizing children before puberty given that they prefer to associate with same sex friends?
