I am not sure it is biologically possible for people to be born gay. For homosexuality to be a birth-trait, it would have to be a genetic predisposition. If homosexuality were a genetic predisposition, it would be a predisposition that discourages traditional reproductive processes.

Within a few generations, the genetic predisposition would die out — because people with that predisposition are far less likely to reproduce.

The “logic” I’ve often heard concerning this, is that forced marriages allowed for the transmission.

I agree with you and would add that being Gay is a choice. Also, one that brings embarassment to its practitioner. They feel trapped early on and feel that there is no way out, which is a lie fostered by G/L alignment (I forget the name) which is taught in our schools.

Homosexuality is a taught/trapped lifestyle. It can be shown that this is the case by the numbers of people leaving that perverse lifestyle and all the dangers it holds for its adherants(sp), ie; STD’s, Bowel/bladder Dz’s, Cancers, Psycological problems, Domestic Violence, Shortened Life span, all of which have been proven by medical, psycological, and social sciences.

I’m not sure your argument is persuasive. There are plenty of genetic defects that discourage - or, in many cases, prevent - reproduction. Just consider any of the genetic problems that cause miscarriages or severe birth defects. These do not die out, largely because there are carriers who are not themselves afflicted with the condition. Who’s to say the same is not true about a hypothetical homosexual gene?

I am not saying that homosexuality is in any way genetic, only that the continued existence of homosexuals does not conclusively prove that it is not.
