"There is no homosexual gene, but epigenetic changes affecting hormones and a child's environment seem to be the cause of homosexuality"

Totally disagree.

I worked with a number of homosexual men, all of whom were free when it came to talking about their pasts and their sex lives. They all were victims of sexual abuse--by males-- in their childhood.

I had a hairstylist, a homosexual male, for years. He had been sexually abused by his stepbrother as a child, and he admitted it was probably the reason he was homosexual. Also, he had an absent, removed father, and an overbearing, over-protective mother.

There is nothing natural about homosexuality. It is a highly unnatural perversion, and those who give in to it are making a choice to do so.

If you ‘totally disagree’ then you’re missing the best science we have right now. There isn’t a homosexual gene. There is significant evidence for an epigenetic effect on a devoloping baby. These hormones give a disposition toward same-gender attraction. Throw in the example you gave and you end up with a practicing homosexual. They’re sexually immature and mentally ill.

The above information is important because once we know the cause we can find the cure. Therapies exist to cure homosexuality. That’s the good news for parents and children as well as adults with same-gender attraction.

Furthermore, the fact is that more girls and boys are molested than turn homosexual. The story you describe is one where a small minority of the population of all those molested as children become homosexual. So clearly, molestation doesn’t equal homosexuality, not on a one to one basis. There must be some other contributing factors or cause.

Everything is a choice, but a hormonal imbalance is a noted cause of many mental illnesses and can be cured or medicated.
