According to modern dogma, homosexuals are like sprinters: born and not made. Thus, even though psychology’s longstanding nature-nurture debate has concluded that many traits are the result of both factors, it isn’t politically correct to consider even this possibility with respect to homosexuality. But does this biology-is-destiny theory hold water with respect to same-sex attraction? And, if so, what does this say about the behavior’s moral status? Let’s examine the matter.
When discussing same-sex attraction’s cause, the first thing usually mentioned is the much touted “homosexual gene” theory. In fact, the idea has been repeated so often that many today accept it as fact. But the reality is this: Neither the groundbreaking Genome Project nor any other research endeavor has found any such gene. Moreover, it makes no sense from an evolutionary (or selective breeding, if you prefer) standpoint. After all, such a gene would greatly reduce the chances of its bearer procreating, would be unlikely to be passed on, and thus would be a dead-end mutation unable to survive many generations. And, I must say, it’s a testimonial to the emotion-oriented decision-making of secular modernists — who are generally staunch evolutionists — that they would glom on to a theory so contrary to Evolution 101.
Next we have the intrauterine development theory. It states that if a boy’s body fails to provide him with the necessary amount of testosterone in the womb, his brain won’t be fully masculinized. This, presumably, accounts for that rare boy we’ve all met who, from the word go, has very effeminate mannerisms. Anyway, the idea is that his more feminine brain will militate in favor of attraction to other males. It’s a logical theory, as far as it goes.
Yet it isn’t airtight.

Well, if it is genetic, then the homosexuals we have now are not reproducing. Therefore, this gene should disappear from the gene pool.
IN the evolution versus creation(ID) debate the former argues that evolution theory is predictive.
But if these lib psychologists (pseudo-scientsists) are right and ‘sexual orientation’ (ie physical attraction) is determined before birth then they should be able to predict exactly which flavor of 'Gay' the child will become when they get older.
The flavors are :
GL=gay/lesbian
B=bisexual
T=transsexual
Tell us which one it will be.
“As to this, I remember reading an explanation an anonymous pedophile used to justify his behavior (I’m paraphrasing): “I didn’t ask to have these feelings, so what do you want me to do?””
In 10 years, continuing down our immoral path, this will be as common as homosexuality.
The author has nailed it, but no one wants to think, they just want to do what feels good.
Human behaviors are complex like we used to learn in behavioral psychology. I think imprinting is one of the major causes of homosexual behavior.
Another thought, how do you know someone is homosexual? You either observe the behavior or they self identify?
Agreed - side note: I have at least 4 male ,married, heterosexual friends who have effeminate mannerisms yet are not in the least homosexual. Second, related note: interesting that the show “Suburgatory” has two male characters who have flamingly, over-the-top effeminate mannerisms yet have not been portrayed as “in-the-closet” types and are married to women. The joke appears to be that they just don’t recognize their own homosexuality, but given my personal experience (above), I’m taking it that they’re just very effeminate.
THanks for the article.
You can make the case that sin of ALL kinds are in our DNA!
EVERYTHING we do is a choice. We either give in to the material momentums and lusts of the flesh, or we are disciplined in the Way of our Lord and His teaching and do not engage in behaviors which He has told us are harmful.
This reminds me... there are actually more effeminate heterosexual men than homosexual men.
80% of gays were sexually abused as minors.
Prove me wrong.
That is a canard....no way.
Whenever people say "He/she/they was born gay! its normal!" The correct response is, "Some people are born with 11 toes, or three gonads. Still not normal."

And . . . therefore, what? A lot of people were physically abused by beatings as minors. So what? A lot of people had drunk parents. So what?
Homosexuality is a "Character and Behavior Disorder" no matter what the psychological world says, similar to being an alcoholic, thief, gambler, etc., all of which deserve therapy, either religious, secular, or both. But to pat them on the back is insane.
“...very effeminate mannerisms. Anyway, the idea is that his more feminine brain will militate in favor of attraction to other males.”
For a moment, I thought this was going to be another Obama tread.
80% of gays were sexually abused as minors.
My son is a homosexual. I have not seen him in 10 years.
You should hear the stories he makes up about our family!
They have no basis in reality and are only created to justify his behavior.
These guys hang out together and feed on each other’s tales of abuse, and lose their grip on reality.
Oh. I’m sorry to hear that. The fact that you haven’t seen your son in 10 years must be heartbreaking.
I read somewhere that 1% of live births have both male and female genetalia. I think this explains the bull dyke. It probably accounts for a large percentage of the 1.8% of the population that is gay. The remainder have some form of psychosis.
All one needs to know about homosexuality is that it is Halakhically a capital offense for all mankind. ‘Nuff said.
How about when he prances down the steps of Air Force One with his little paws clenched up close to his chest!!
