Homosexuality is not a learned behavior. A sexual orientation is inherited; you are wired that way.

And embryonic stem cell research holds great promise for a cure of this inherited malady.

Well, not really. But I have just proven that I have studied the subject as well as Michael J. Fox has studied the candidates that he is currently campaigning for across the nation.

such issues as "bestiality and pedophilia". .( both of which occurr in heterosexual males just as often).

Well, no. The rate of homosexual contact with minors is about 15 times that of heterosexuals. It's simple math.

Let me rephrase, I believe being born gay is a "normal" abnormality. Down's occurs in x% of the of population, does it not? It's not normal, but it occurs and it occurs is x% of the population...a normal abnormality.

I take it from your post that mankind understands everything there is to know about the brain. No evidence has ever been found of a "gay gene" or that homosexuality is the result of a chromosomal abnormality. If we haven't found it, it must not be true?
