But, but, the liberals have told us that homosexuals are born that way.

That conscience of the music business, “Lady Gaga”, sang a song that they are “Born That Way”.

The liberal view is established, and there’s no science that will change their minds. And we are now compelled to make our social policies, public policy decisions, and public laws, around that idea that homosexuals are “born that way”.

This is a similar liberal concept involved with global warming. Al Gore and his henchmen have declared that the debate is over, the science is settled, etc. on that issue too.

And we may well yet see us make more and more policy decisions in energy and industrial policy based on the idea that global warming is settled science.

And on these issues, among others, if you take issue with the liberals, you will be targeted not for debate of the positions, but for destruction and silencing.

You will NEVER convince libtards that they’re wrong no matter what the evidence is.

I can already hear the response.

“Well, both of the identical twins are gay, but one is just lying because he’s ashamed... and that’s your fault, you conservative bigot!”

I think they are. At the same time, I don't think their condition has a thing to do with genetics. If it was genetic, you'd see families with a high incidence of homosexuality, and others with none at all.

In my observation, homosexuality is a mental thing. Sure, some people can be indoctrinated into it through force, but sexual preference is pretty basic to personality. Some folks are just born with crossed wires, ya know?

When it comes to things like "gay rights" and "gay marriage", don't fall into the trap of arguing whether gay people are born that way. It is a trap because you are immediately ceding the idea that, if gays are born that way, then the whole pro-homo push is justified. If you establish that, under some conditions, it can be justified, then in a lot of people's minds, that means it is justified, period. This is the way the argument has gone also with abortion. The pro-aborts deflect from the fact that it is murder by saying "Sometimes it is necessary for the health of the mother" or "What about rape?" If you ceded that abortion is justified under certain circumstances, that opens the door wide for other rationalities. It is the same with the gay stuff.

The truth is that it doesn't matter whether gay people are born that way or not - it is still a sexual disorder and should be treated as such. People are born with all kinds of defects and issues, both mental and physical, and we don't re-order our society based on them (with the exception of physical handicaps as covered by ADA). For example, we don't treat schizophrenia as a "life choice" just because he was born that way. Nor should we redefine our most important institutions to accommodate people with a sexual disorder, regardless of whether they were born with it or not.
