Is Homosexuality a Learned Behavior?
TV -The Dr. Phil House: House of Hatred ^ | 10/30/06 | Dr.Phil

Is Homosexuality a Learned Behavior?

Christine: My 22-year-old daughter is in a relationship with a woman. I don't believe she is a lesbian. Could this be a form of rebellion and a result of getting in with the "wrong" crowd? Can homosexuality be learned and unlearned?

Dr. Phil:

Homosexuality is not a learned behavior. A sexual orientation is inherited; you are wired that way. Certainly some people will experiment with a gay lifestyle, and a gay person might experiment with a heterosexual one. If she is really gay, she will find a place in that life and in that community. The important thing is that you just love her through that. What difference does it make if she is gay? Accept her, support her and do not be judgmental. It is difficult enough for her to live openly and honestly in this society; don't put your judgment on top of that.

"If behaviors are not modifiable, and if behaviors are "hard-wired" then the entire pscyhological profession is a FRAUD!"

Thank you. He cannot have it both ways.

Homosexuals do NOT have children.

Huh? Where did you dig this factoid up? I'd get my data somewhere else, because you are dead wrong. Have you never heard of a divorced dad with kids moving in with a boyfriend? A gay man can still father children the 'normal' way; being gay simply means that he is sexually attracted to men. There is NOTHING to preclude him from fathering numerous children. His equipment is the same as a heterosexual male's equipment, and functions the same.

That's probably why the gay crowd is so insistent on "importing" foreign gays as "refugees".

Really? What do you mean?

I think the point is that he would have to go against what is hardwired into his genetic makeup in order to procreate, which does not bode well for him in the larger evolutionary picture.

"A sexual orientation is inherited; you are wired that way"

And all the scientific research debunks the "gay gene" theory. No such gene exists.

This is gay's way of rationalizing their deviant, disgusting and immoral behavior. "I can't help it that I'm a queer, it's in my DNA."

I think you're born gay. If it's "normal" to be born with a birth defect, then homosexuality is also a defect and it would occur "normally" in "x%" of the population. To me, it's a mental defect.

BEHAVIORS ARE NOT GENETIC DEFECTS! PERIOD! IF YOU BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION, IT'S A SELF-DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR THAT NEGATES EVOLUTION, AND IF YOU BELIEVE IN RELIGION, IT'S A SIN! SO BELIEVING HOMOSEXUALITY AS A "BEHAVIOR" IS GENETIC IS A LOGICAL FALLACY AND A FRAUD!

However, it does serve the gay agenda well. And the pedophiles, and the necromancers, and the beastials, etc...

You never noticed that? The gay crowd went berserk when it was proposed banning people with AIDS from the US.

Most gay guys I've ever known had no difficulty whatsoever "performing" with females.

They prefer each other because they are such easy targets ~ women are always wanting to take a shower or something you know.

No, that's interesting. Though in all fairness, in places like Africa aids has taken on a life of its own apart from homesexuality.

As Krauthammer once noted, in the "real world" all of us already know who is or is not gay ~ whether or not they are telling us.

Or, another way to put it is to factor in homosexual frequented bath houses ~ multiply the number of stalls, rooms, corners, nooks and crannies by 10, and that's all there are.

It's 1% or less of the male population with higher concentrations in certain marketing areas.

There are numerous heterosexuals who will not respond to any poll that inquires into their sexuality for any reason at all. I've seen studies over the years that indicate 30% or more of the population won't address sex questions.

As an example, about now Dennis Hastert would probably prefer to punch someone in the mouth than talk sexual inclinations ~

The non-responders get dropped from the analysis and that serves to boost the estimate of homosexuals in the population because one thing those guys like to talk about is how they use their sex organs.

Not too long ago it was found that the practice of women taking semi-permanent lovers outside of marriage was sufficient to explain the spread of AIDS.

That's because the male "lovers" were into a lot more than heterosexual sex patterns.

Consequently, even in Africa, the primary driver behind the spread of AIDS is homosexual behavior.

"I think you're born gay. If it's "normal" to be born with a birth defect...."

First and foremost, it's not normal to be born with a birth defect. That's why it's called a defect. Birth defects are structural abnormalities of the body that develop during embryo-genesis and the early to mid development period. For example, Downs Syndrome can occur from three different circumstances, the most common of which is an extra chromosome 21 in the cell. Others are the result of mixing of chromosomes or the when a section of chromosome 21 is translocated to another chromosome, usually 14. The degree of retardation depends on the type.

Homosexuality, on the other hand, is not a physical birth defect or the result of chromosomes gone bad. It is a learned trait. No evidence has ever been found of a "gay gene" or that homosexuality is the result of a chromosomal abnormality.
